Let’s face it. Pumpkin is pretty darn delicious on its own. By adding white miso and ginger, we take things up a few notches in the flavor department.

White miso has a beautiful balance of salty and sweet. Ginger is a fantastic anti-inflammatory and circulatory stimulant, meaning that it promotes healthy blood flow. It’s also a wonderfully warming food and hence a good friend in autumn/winter.

Ingredients



  • 1 kg Jap pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons shiro (white) miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

   

Method



  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Peel the pumpkin and cut into small cubes (roughly 2 x 2 cm).
  • In a bowl, combine the pumpkin and olive oil.
  • Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is soft and just begins to turn golden in colour.
  • Transfer pumpkin to a bowl and add the miso and ginger.
  • Mash with a hand held blender until smooth.
