Ingredients
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Garlic
  • 150g Mushrooms finely chopped
  • ½ leek, finely chopped
  • 1 leaf of Kale, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbs ground hazelnuts
  • 1 tbs white balsamic vinegar
  • Additional ingredients:
  • 1 baby pumpkin, halved deseeded
  • 4 tbs Pomegranate seeds
  • Coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush your pumpkin halves with coconut oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper and dried rosemary. Place on a baking sheet (cut-side up). Bake for 40-50 minutes or until softened.
  2. Heat up some coconut oil in a pan and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add , leek, mushrooms, rosemary, ground hazelnuts and season with salt and pepper. Fry on medium for 7-10 minutes until the mushroom have browned and the leeks have softened. Lower the heat and add balsamic and kale, sautée for another 2 minutes or until the kale has wilted. Mix in ¾ of the pomegranate seeds.
  3. When your pumpkin is baked fill them with the filling and garnish with more pomegranate seeds and tahini. Serve along side a salad or with a grain of your choice. I imagine that black rice would go incredibly well with this. If there’s any leftover filling just eat it on the side.
