Directions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, fan-forced.
- In a large baking tray, toss the pumpkin pieces with olive oil, pink lake salt and spices.
- Roast the pumpkin for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and add in the chopped zucchini and sliced capsicum. Continue cooking until the vegetables are golden and tender.
- While the pumpkin cooks, start on the risotto. Sauté the garlic and onion in olive oil over medium-high heat until fragrant and softened. Add in the fresh ginger, coconut sugar, coriander and turmeric and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add in the quinoa and broth. Stir evenly and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover and simmer for about 14-18 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the quinoa is al dente.
- Gently stir through the roasted pumpkin, capsicum and zucchini. Season to taste, serve with a drizzle of Lemon pressed EVOO and a dusting of Egyptian dukkah.
