Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Roast Pumpkin Seeds

You can pay £2.95 for a small bag of roasted Pumpkin Seeds in a well known health food store if you wish. But why would you? When making a Pumpkin lantern with kids most folk seem to just scoop the seeds out and throw them away.

Not here!

Ingredients:-

The seeds from your Pumpkin
Oil to roast
Salt

Method:-

(1) Add a little oil to an over tray.
(2) Wash the pulp off the Pumpkin seeds and dry them with kitchen paper.
(3) Add the seeds to the oil and sprinkle with salt.
(4) Roast in the oven at 180C for 20 minutes or so stirring occasionally.
(5) Lay the roasted seeds on kitchen paper to absorb the oil and then store in a jar.

Good for sprinkling over dishes to add a bit of crunch and a mild nutty flavour.

The juice of a Lemon
1 Onion, finely chopped
Chorizo, finely chopped
Garlic Salt

Turmeric
Olive Oil

Battered Squid Heads!:-

Gram Flour
Salt & Pepper
1 Egg, beaten
Chilli Flakes

Method:-

Sue made a stir-fry with Bok Choy, Red Peppers and Spring Onions. With a Tomato based sauce to drizzle and served over Rice Noodles this was a really tasty dinner. OK not everybody would want the deep fry heads staring at them, but we’re not squeamish like that!
