Ingredients:
  • 600g kent pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 300g (2 cups) frozen broad beans

  • 80g (1/2 cup) pine nuts
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 125.00 ml finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Toss pumpkin in a roasting pan with 1 tablespoon oil, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes until golden, stirring occasionally. Let cool before serving.
  • Cook the broad beans in a large pot of salted boiling water for 5 minutes until tender, then cool them down under cold running water. Peel off and discard the skins before transferring to a large serving bowl.
  • Prepare the risoni in a saucepan with salted boiling water as per packet instructions until al dente. Cool it down under cold water, drain, and combine with the broad beans.
  • Start by heating a small frying pan over medium heat. Toast the pine nuts by cooking and stirring them for 2 minutes until they are nicely toasted.
