No-cut Pumpkin Soup

I hate cutting pumpkins. This recipe eliminates that step completely !

The taste of this soup can change depending on which flavourings you choose. You can remove the curry paste and nutmeg and swap with
-sauteed onions, garlic and cumin seeds
-curry powder & vege or chicken stock
-sweet chilli sauce

A pumpkin (any kind!)
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp sweetener (coconut sugar, brown sugar, date syrup)
1 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tbsp Red curry paste
Ceres Coconut cream

 Wash or wipe the pumpkin. Place the entire pumpkin into the oven whole at 180-200 degrees C. Bake until a knife slides easily into the pumpkin. Usually about 30-60 minutes depending on size.

Once soft, remove the skin by gently peeling or slicing back. This step depends on the pumpkin type. Open the pumpkin and scoop out seeds.
Place the pumpkin flesh inside a crock pot or stove top pot.
Cover flesh with water (or stock if using) and add in flavourings.
Bring to boil and let simmer for 30 mins. Or if using crock pot leave on low for 2-4 hours.

Remove from heat and add coconut cream. Taste and add more salt and pepper if required.

Tips
I only use the Ceres brand, one because it is organic. Two, because it has no stabilisers or additives so the soup wont "set". Other brands seem to make the soup go like jelly after a day!

Too much? Put half in the freezer for another day.

Over ripe Kamokamo works the same, in fact they make a tasty soup.

Slow cooked Malaysian Inspired Beef

A cheap cut of meat made tender & unique. This recipe was inspired by my recent obsession for Vietnamese and Malaysian dishes. I got the meat cut for $10 and it served 6 people. Definitely was a winter winner. I served with roast potatoes, green beans and broccoli. Pot roast or similar cut Garlic cloves 1 onion sliced 2 star anise H20 Sauce 4 Tbsp olive oil 2 Tbsp sugar (I used coconut) 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp red curry paste 2 tsp grated ginger 1 tsp mustard powder 1 tsp cracked pepper 1 pinch chilli flakes Few drops liquid smoke (optional) Take the meat out of the fridge and warm to room temp. Pat meat dry. Season with salt. Sear sides of roast in a well oiled, hot fry pan - to seal in the moisture. This only needs to be long enough to create a golden crust. Place meat in slow cooker. Place sliced onion, crushed garlic and star anise in with the meat. Add 1/2 cup of water to slow cooker. Pour mixed sauce over the top of meat. Cook on low for 6-8 ...
