ingredients
- 1 small turnip, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 small pumpkin or 1 small squash, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 leeks, white bits sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- salt and pepper, to taste
directions
- Heat the oven to 200°C.
- Put the pumpkin on a sheet of foil and bring the foil over the top of the pumpkin to create a sealed packet.
- Put on a tray and bake for 1/2 hour.
- About 10 minutes before the pumpkin is done, heat the oil in a pan and add the leeks and pumpkin.
- Fry until the turnip is tender, adding a bit of water from time to time if necessary to keep the pan from drying out too much.
- Add the baked pumpkin slices to the pan and cook a couple more minutes.
- Season, then put in a bowl, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve.

I made, or rather tried to make, this recipe last night as a side dish for pan fried trout. There is a problem here. First of all, the pumpkin doesn't soften sufficiently at a 200 oven in 30 minutes and it is not ready for the pan. Secondly, the instructions say "About 10 minutes before the pumpkin is done, heat the oil in a pan and add the leeks and pumpkin. " I'm pretty sure they mean the "turnips" not the pumpkin. This is just confusing. The final outcome was tasty but not the kind of outcome I expected as there was very little pumpkin flavor. Adding the sesame seeds was a good idea.Reply
