Ingredients

  • 1/2 Pumpkin
  • 1/2 Cauliflower
  • 2 Big Garlic Heads
  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt
  • Oil, Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients, including a fresh pumpkin of your choice, cauliflower, garlic, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt. Cut the pumpkin in half with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. At the same time heat oven to180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit.
  • With the pumpkin halves ready, cut them into smaller, manageable pieces, along with the cauliflower and garlic. This will help in even roasting and ensure they cook thoroughly.
  • Place pumpkin, cauliflower, and garlic into a bowl, and generously drizzle with oil, sprinkling a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Mix the vegetables well, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking, and then slide the sheet into the preheated oven to roast for 25 minutes.
  • Once the roasted pumpkin, cauliflower, and garlic flesh is soft and cooked to perfection, let them cool briefly before transferring them into a blender or food processor. Here comes the exciting part: add a dollop of cottage cheese to the mix, which adds a luscious creaminess to the puree. Place the pumpkin halves and everything else into the food processor and puree until smooth and velvety texture. If you prefer a softer consistency of pureed pumpkin, add one to two tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the blend, achieving your desired level of creaminess.

Notes

  • Food Processor - Use a food processor or blender to puree the roasted pumpkin pieces until smooth, strain it through a fine mesh strainer for a smoother texture.
  • Pepitas - once you cut pumpkin in half and remove, scoop out the seeds with a large spoon, make delicious pepitas
