Roast Pumpkin with Fruity Rice
Tip
Great baby puree - blitz fruity pumpkin & rice on speed 7 for just a few seconds. My little boy inhaled it because the raisins gave it a slight sweetness.
No raisins?? I would imagine dried cranberries or apricots would also give this dish a lovely flavour. I was also tempted to give this recipe a go with sunflower seeds or pinenuts. Very adapatble. Use fresh herbs if you have them.
