with Fetta Yoghurt & Pepitas
Tonight's dish is all about the pumpkin; roast it with a good sprinkle of Middle Eastern seasoning, then finish it with a drizzle of honey for the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The yoghurt adds a lovely creaminess and contrast of flavours, with a subtle saltiness and tang from the fetta.
