Ingredients:

1 large onion (peeled and roughly chopped)

1 tablespoon of turmeric

1 kg pumpkin (peeled, deseeded and roughly chopped)

500g sweet potato (peeled, rinsed and roughly chopped)
1 teaspoon of dried chilli powder (optional)
1 tablespoons of tomato purée/paste
5 oz butter
5 oz plain flour
1 litre of vegetable/chicken stock
4 sprigs of rosemary, picked
200g of parmesan cheese

 

Method

First off pre heat the oven to 180.

Mix the pumpkin and sweet potato with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and cook for 15 minutes.

While cooking gather a large sauce pan or pot. Melt the butter and add spices, cook for 3-4 minutes on a medium heat.

Remove from the heat and add flour and tomato paste, mix well until a paste has been formed.

Bring back to the heat and gradually whisk in the stock until a sauce consistency has formed.

Simmer for 5 minutes and check the pumpkin and sweet potato in the oven – they should be soft. If not it’s ok as every oven is different.

Add to the mix and stir.

Cook until soft and blend with a hand blender or food processor until smooth.

Bring back to the boil, season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to large bowls – add the picked rosemary on top and crumble the cheese on top.

This can be served with or without croutons, a matter of taste and enjoy!
