GIFTS TO DOMESTICS/ GARDENERS Domestics and Gardeners sometimes have various items with them when they leave the Estate. These items can include anything from electrical appliances to technical equipment, etc. As an extra security measure, we would like to request residents to write a letter confirming that the domestic/gardener can take these items with them when they leave the Estate. Your assistance in this regard is appreciated.

1 (about 1.5kg) butternut pumpkin, halved 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil 8 thyme sprigs 2 large carrots 4 slices cured and smoked streaky bacon (optional) ½ tsp fennel seeds ½ tsp chilli flakes, plus extra to serve 1 onion (unpeeled) 3 garlic cloves (unpeeled) 500ml chicken or vegetable stock 2 tbs creme fraiche, plus extra to serve Micro herbs (optional), to serve
SPICED PARMESAN CROUTONS • 75g very finely grated parmesan, plus extra grated to serve • 75g unsalted butter, softened • ½ tsp fennel seeds, crushed • ½ tsp chilli flakes, plus extra to serve • ½ tsp coriander seeds, crushed • 3 thyme sprigs, leaves picked • ½ sourdough baguette, sliced on an angle
RECIPE OF THE MONTH: 1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Drizzle the cut sides of the pumpkin with 1 tbs oil, then place, cut-side down, on prepared tray on top of thyme sprigs. 2. Place the carrots and bacon, if using, in the middle of a large piece of foil. Sprinkle over the fennel seeds and chilli flakes. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbs oil. Add to the baking tray and roast for 30 minutes. 3. Remove the vegetable mixture from the oven and add the onion to the tray. Enclose the garlic in foil and add to the baking tray. Roast for a further 30 minutes or until tender. 4. Meanwhile, for the croutons, combine the parmesan, butter, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, coriander seeds and thyme in a bowl. Season. Stir to combine. Spread the butter mixture over 1 side of the baguette slices. Place on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle with extra parmesan. Set aside. 5. Remove vegetable mixture from the oven and replace with the crouton tray. Roast for 8 minutes or until golden and bubbling. 6. To make the soup, strip the thyme leaves from stalk and add to a large saucepan. Scoop out the pumpkin seeds and discard. Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and place in the saucepan with the carrots and bacon, if using. Peel the onion and garlic, and add to the pan. Add any remaining pan juices. Use a stick blender to break down slightly, then add the stock and 1½ cups water. Blend until smooth. Stir in the creme fraiche. Season to taste and cook over medium heat until warmed through. 7. Transfer to serving bowls. Top with extra creme fraiche and micro herbs. Season with pepper and sprinkle with extra chilli flakes. Serve with spiced parmesan croutons.

BOARDWALK MANOR
GARDENING You can start feeding the birds - hang up some feeders with a variety of seeds and suet balls to attract different birds to your garden. Last chance to plant new shrubs and trees to ensure a good start in spring, as the roots will have time to establish through the winter months. Remove summer annuals that are looking tired and replace with winter flowering annuals like Pansies, Primulas, Petunias, Stocks, Ranunculus, Poppies and Sweet Peas.

RECYCLING &
WASTE REMOVAL The weekly collection of waste is on a Wednesday. Please keep to the MOI rules and collect recyclable bags from the security guards at the gate.
