| Re: The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating (since it's the new year and all....)
Yeah, Manor has pumpkin, it comes with seeds still inside, if you dry them you can pop them open and roast them to garnish your pumpkin dish.
Soup:
Fry finely chopped onion and garlic on a spoon of oil, add clean and cubed pumkin a few mins later, bring to boil. Season with a bit of cummin, curry or mild garam masala, salt and a tad of sugar and lemon juice, I don't go overboard with spices so one can taste the warm carotene flavor of pumkin. Blend in a blender or use a stick musher, serve with a swirl of cream. My favorite winter soup. One can use the leftover next day for some curry dish or veggie stew.
The other healthy soup is BORSCH, love it. I love the beets in it, the three types of meat and all the veggies and cream, makes me homesick for home and my Ukrainian skating partner I used to cook it with. Pickled beets is lovely in salads.
An easy way to eat seeds without feeling like a rodent is having it in the morning in a plain youghurt and a bit of honey, it is so tasty that I am surprised how healthy it is. I eat sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax and pumkin, they come in nice fresh bags of it in Manor, bio. Last me good part of the year.
