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.
We had some frozen Turkey Thigh curry in the freezer and about 150g of frozen minced Beef which was left from an 800g value pack. So we though we might have a go at Kofta and Sue's Onion Bhajis. Add a bit of rice and some shop bought poppadoms and you've got a pretty convincing fakeaway, as they call them!
