Millet with roasted pumpkin, garlic & lettuce

Hi hi, my friend, here I am visiting you with this pumpkin recipe. If you love pumpkins, you might like this pumpkin with spinach quick dinner.

Don't peel the pumpkins. Pumpkin skin is healthy with vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. It adds flavor and texture. However, I'll agree with you that not all pumpkin skin, are edible. You can still roast and peel off the skin after.

Serve your roasted pumpkin with millet and lettuce to make a complete healthy meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sumac spice
  • 1 teaspoon Indian curry
  • ½ teaspoon dry oregano
  • a dust of wild garlic (optional)
  • 1 small size pumpkin (for 2 people)
  • 2 red onions
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • pinch of salt
  • ground pepper
  • 11/2 cup cooked warm millet
  • a handful of lamb's lettuce or any other lettuce
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for the lettuce
  • some roasted nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 200°C / 392°F
  • Clean your veggies
  • Chop the onions lengthwise about 1 cm wide
  • Tap dry the pumpkin then smear some coconut oil all over
  • Cut the pumpkin into wedges about 2cm wide remove the seeds
  • Spread the rest of the oil on the baking tin

  • Sprinkle again with some spices and oregano with wild garlic
