So much flavour! Thank you for this recipe. -
It had been so long since I have had pumpkin that I couldn't remember if I actually liked it. Well, if all pumpkin tastes like this then I certainly do. It was an easy recipe to follow and the garlic smelled great as it cooked. I ended up throwing some of the left over bits into a green salad with some light honey mustard dressing and that was both interesting and tasty. Made for Vegetarian/Vegan Tag. -
Outstanding, we all really enjoyed these roasted pumpkin, the garlic flavour really adds a lot to the pumpkin. The directions were perfect and they baked perfectly at 210oC for 30 minutes, nice and brown on the bottom and soft inside and crisp on top. Thank you busyozmum
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born to migrant (Polish) parents in the western suburbs of Victoria, Australia in the early 60's. I was born to love food. My mother, a talented lady, taught herself to cook after she got married and turned out to be a wonderful cook. People everywhere rave about her meals. I am especially fond of the few traditional Polish dishes she makes. These days that only happens by special request. :o)
When I was 18, I married into a Greek/Macedonian family and so my love of food was further expanded and enhanced. Those people can cook!
Now married for a 2nd time to a true-blue Aussie guy, I struck gold again with a mother-in-law who was extremely talented in her kitchen. Unfortunately she's too elderly and unwell to weild her wooden spoon these days but I thoroughly enjoy discussing her favourite recipes and perusing her old cook books.
Food has always been a huge part of my life. I love all types of cuisines.
Hubby and I have 7 kids (his, mine and ours). At present (2010), they are 26, 26, 25, 24, 20, 11 & 9 years old. I get to practice in the kitchen a lot. Sometimes more than I really want to. LOL! The 5 older kids are no longer living at home but phone me with foody requests regularly. I LOVE it when they ask for a favourite dish to be cooked by me. I feel my job has been well done. :o) My 2 younger kids are a Mum's nightmare to feed. I don't know why, but these 2 are by far the pick-iest eaters of the 7. Still, they are asked to try new things regularly and I'm sure one day, they too will have a love of good food as the rest of us do.
