I love a good smash. Mashed potatoes, mashed peas, mashed cauliflower - just a few of my favourite hot mess's on a plate. This recipe was a happy accident... I was actually attempting grilled pumpkin...

Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS:
  • ¼ pumpkin (I used Kent), peeled and cut into chunks
  • Handful baby spinach, rinsed and dried
  • Handful basil, rinsed, dried and leaves torn off stems
  • Pinch Himalayan salt
  • Lug of olive oil
  • Pinch black lava salt
  • Pumpkin seeds
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In a large pot, cover pumpkin in water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until it feels soft with a folk, about 20 minutes.
  2. Drain water off and return the pumpkin back into the pot.
  3. Turn the heat on the pot and swish pumpkin around until all the excess water is gone – about 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.
  4. Add in the spinach, basil and himalayan salt and mix until everything is wilted down.
  5. Place in a serving bowl, drizzle over the olive oil and finish by sprinkling over the black lava salt and pumpkin seeds.
