Curried Scramble WITH PUMPKIN WEDGES
This tasty recipe is based on a North Indian breakfast. Here, I’ve opted for oven-roasted pumpkin wedges, instead of the traditional flat bread pairing.
SERVES 1
◆ 200g Kent pumpkin, deseeded and cut into 4cm thick wedges, skin on
◆ 2 tbs coconut oil, grass-fed butter or ghee
◆ Sea salt
◆ 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
◆ ¼ red onion, finely sliced
◆ 1cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated, or ⅛ tsp ground ginger
◆ 1cm piece of turmeric, finely grated, or ⅛ tsp ground turmeric
◆ ⅛ tsp garam masala
◆ ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
◆ 3 large eggs
◆ 1 small green chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
◆ 1 small handful of coriander leaves, roughly torn
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Arrange the pumpkin wedges on the prepared tray and coat with 1 tbs of your preferred cooking fat.
