I was pleasantly suprised by these Halloween recipes from Loseley Butter. Pumpkin Soup is an obvious choice but I like the look of the Pumpkin Roll, as it looks so different. Perfect for Halloween if you don't like soup !
**********************************************
Pumpkins are a versatile, delicious and traditional option for cooking a whole host of recipes, and for this Halloween the simple addition of Loseley’s Summer Meadow Butter can send those lucky enough to be offered the option to share into a warm Heavenly state.
Loseley offers two very different recipes below including an easy-to-construct soup along with a sweeter option.
PUMPKIN SOUP WITH LOSELEY SUMMER MEADOW BUTTER
Pumpkin soup is ideal for warming cold hands for Halloween particularly when served in mugs.

Melt the Loseley butter in a large, lidded saucepan and add the onion and carrot. Cook gently to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until all the vegetables are soft but not brown.
Add the pumpkin, milk and seasoning and bring gently to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until all the vegetables are soft.
Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, in batches if necessary. Return to the saucepan, reheat gently and serve swirled with yoghourt and garnished with pumpkin seeds. Accompany with hunks of warmed bread.

ReplyDeleteI like to look for recipes with pumpkins at this time of the year. We have some growing in the garden, so I think about the way we are going to enjoy them once they are harvested!
ReplyDeletelove your recipes... the sacla/ butternut squash risotto is a family favourite
We love pumpkin in many recipes. As my husband is Italian, he loves pasta with pumpkins. I also often cook pumpkin risotto, or pasta bake. Not very keen on pumpkin pie, even if we lived in the States for three years, I didn't acquire taste for it. Thanks for recipes!
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin roll looks delicious! We'll be making this come autumn :)
