Ingredients

1 small pumpkin, cut into generous chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
1/4 red cabbage thinly sliced
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Handful of coriander leaves, chopped
1 red chili, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil

Notes from Rouba

Use olive oil for a rich flavour.

Garnish with extra coriander for freshness.
Top with salad just before serving.
Allow pumpkin to cool to prevent salad wilting.

Method

Step 1.

Preheat your oven to 200°C

Place the pumpkin chunks on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss the pumpkin to ensure it is evenly coated.

Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until it is tender and lightly browned. You can check the doneness by inserting a fork into the pumpkin; it should easily slide in and out.

Step 2.

While the pumpkin is roasting, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced red cabbage, chopped coriander leaves, sliced spring onions, and sliced red chili.

Drizzle with olive oil and add lemon juice. Toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are coated.

Step 3.

Once the pumpkin chunks are ready, transfer them to a serving plate or dish and let then cool slightly

Spoon the dressed salad on top of the roasted pumpkin chunks.

Serve the roasted pumpkin with the red cabbage salad immediately
