"My daughter sent me this recipe some years ago. Whenever I am lucky enough to find pumpkin in the shops this is a dish I prefer to cook. Made today and served with Pollo Sorprisa. Tasty and so easy to make. Serves 4 as a side dish, 2 as a supper dish."

I skipped the carots in this as i made honey carrots as another side dish and thought it was yum. I used dill and nutmeg as herbs (and spices) but i would try another herb mix next time TY Brian
