This is a recipe very similar to one I have posted once before. Goes to show I like the combination of roasted pumpkin & feta. This has farro added, which makes it more hearty, perfect for a mid week winter dish.
Basically you roast the pumpkin, cook farro, add crumbles feta, some salad leaves, and top it with toasted pumpkin seeds and a good vinaigrette.
Pick a small pumpkin to make enough for 2 people:
1 small pumpkin
2 dl pre cooked farro (Most farro needs to be steeped for 6-8 hours before being cooked, I usually leave them to soak over night)
handful of salad leaves
150 grams feta cheese (make sure its made from goats/sheeps milk not cows)
2 spoonfuls roasted pumpkin seeds
dressing:
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or other cold pressed high quality oil
salt
pepper
- Pre heat your open till 200 degrees Celsius.
- Wash the pumkin, as you will leave the skin on you want to be sure its clean.
- scoop out all the inside seeds of the pumpkin. Slice into slivers, see pics above. Place on a baking tray.
- Roast the pumpkin in the oven for 30-40min, to make sure they are done use a fork to test that they are tender (your fork should easily go through the pumpkin).
- Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan on a low heat. This will take 6-8min. Once the seeds begin to get a darker color and begin to pop they are done. Set aside to cool in a plate.
- Prepare the vinaigrette; add the mustard, lemon juice and seasoning first, stir till its delolved before slowly adding the oil. keep whisking tills its all become a mixture.
- Once the pumpkin is done place on a plate or bowel and add the faro on top.
- Then add the salad leaves & crumble the feta over the top.
- Add the seeds.
- EAT
- ENJOY the fruit of your labour.
