TIPS
• This recipe is best with kent pumpkin (squash), which has green and cream speckled skin. It caramelises and goes so incredibly gooey. • You can eat the skin of the pumpkin. It’s delicious and high in fibre! • Try mint instead of parsley and chopped almonds or pumpkin seeds instead of pine nuts.
