Title: Spicy Pumpkin Dip
Post by: CreamPuff63 on October 12, 2011, 06:05:28 am
Had this the other night when over at a friends house and it was seriously popular, so I just had to convert it
Quantity - It makes 440g or 1.75 cups.

Ingredients:

500g pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, diced
Olive oil cooking spray
1 tsp ground cumin
110g light sour cream or milk (I used the cream of course)
20g coriander leaves
2 tsp Woolworths Select Moroccan Seasoning
2 tsp cumin seeds

Toasted Turkish bread to serve.


Preparation:

1.   Preheat oven to 220oC. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Put pumpkin onto prepared tray and spray with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 mins or until tender. Cool.
2.   Place coriander in TM 3 secs, Speed 8.
3.   Place pumpkin, Moroccan seasoning, cumin, sour cream into TM, 2 secs, Speed 4. Spoon into a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until required.
4.   Put cumin seeds on a small plate, spray with oil and microwave 1 min on high (or toast in 1 tsp oil in a small frying pan over medium heat) Sprinkle onto dip just before serving.

Members hints or modifications
CP - Can be made ahead of time, just do the toasted seeds on the day so they are not soggy.

Jeninwa - didn't have any sour cream, I used half a block of Philly cheese, I also added some lemon juice. I was thinking it might be nice with some fetta cheese added.

chdv - I finally realized that Moroccan seasoning is also called Ras El Hanout!

Hally - I froze this dip and it defrosted perfectly.

jessie36 - I didn't have quite enough coriander growing so used a small amount of different herbs, parsely, water cress, warrigal greens, things I had growing in the garden - a very success dip.

Bonsai - I cut the pumpkin into wedges and peel it once it's cooked as it's much easier to do, but it does take longer to cook. Roasting a head of garlic at the same time and using it instead of the ras el hanout might be a nice change. I used a butternut pumpkin the first time I made it and a kent today, a paler shade but just as nice.

Maddy - I doubled everything, didn't have fresh coriander so used the "gourmet garden" coriander in a tube.

Thanks Judy, I was just wondering if I could make it, as if I try to buy it here I'd have to go to a special store, meaning not my regular supermarket. Gourmet food stores here are outrageously expensive. I'll look in Germany next time I go food shopping there.

Thanks Fundj  :), I'll try making a batch on the weekend. I think I'll brown off the spices whole and then grind them up (all in the TM of course).

Do you have a recipe for pumpkin jam or is it on the forum or in the EDC book?

Thanks Judy :) Think I'll try making it tomorrow.

Fundj, your looks completely different. Yes please make notes next time you make it!

We're going to France tomorrow for a grill party, to a lab colleague, so I think I'll make this dip to take with. Maybe I'll run down to our local Villeroy and Boch outlet and see if I cake pick up a nice plate or dish to put the dip on/in.

Thanks for the recipe(s)!!

This will teach me to check what I type, it was in the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep.
If you can find half a bloke of philly cheese you should use him quick. :D :D they don't stay still for long.

Sounds a lovely dip. We are having visitors on Sunday and thought I would give making this a go - do you think it would be ok made the day before. I am thinking that it would be fine and the flavours would develop.
Title: Re: Spicy Pumpkin Dip
Post by: CreamPuff63 on November 11, 2011, 10:01:03 am
yeah I reckon, just do the toasted seeds on the day so they are not soggy
Title: Re: Spicy Pumpkin Dip
Post by: maddy on November 17, 2011, 07:02:27 am
Bought the pumpkin, bought the sour cream.....forgot the Moroccan seasoning  >:(
  Was making this tonight, to take for a lunch tomorrow.   Not going back into town again, so what would be a suitable substitute for the seasoning do you think?


Oh-der moment again......looked up a mix on google  :P
Title: Re: Spicy Pumpkin Dip
Post by: chdv on November 24, 2011, 05:39:43 pm
I finally realized that Moroccan seasoning is also called Ras El Hanout! I made a batch last spring, using the recipe from the UK Thermomix site: http://www.ukthermomix.com/recshow.php?rec_id=82 (http://www.ukthermomix.com/recshow.php?rec_id=82).

I took some photos of Ras El Hanout in the making: http://dvfood.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html (http://dvfood.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html)

Thank you CP.  :)  This is a delicious dip - I can see why your fellow guests made it popular.  I took the permission from the UK site link posted by chdv (thanks) and didn't worry about the spice I was missing (allspice).  I used fresh ginger and fresh chilli  and ground them up with the fresh coriander and other spices.  Mine is a little salty so next time I make it I'll be less generous with the mineral salt when I sprinkle on pumpkin before the baking.  Next time I'll also reserve some of the little cubes of baked pumpkin for an extra garnish.  Yum!

Hi Creampuff, made your dip unfortunately I didn't have quite enough coriander growing so used a small amount of different herbs, parsely, water cress, warrigal greens things i had growing in the garden a very success dip.  Lovely.
Title: Re: Spicy Pumpkin Dip
Post by: Squeak on August 08, 2013, 12:46:37 am
Am making this atm but after checking the herb boxes found I have no coriander at all ! ~ so I'll be subbing with parsley and let you know what the verdict is after our picnic lunch at the park. My DD nearly 3 doesn't eat any orange veg so not sure what she'll make of it, my GF's twins may well devour it.  Oh, also using butternut squash as I didn't have pumpkin/sweet potato....

Edited to add:

neither of the three children liked it, but GF and DH really liked it so all good there :)

A yummy dip. I cut the pumpkin in to wedges and peel it once it's cooked as it's much easier to do, but it does take longer to cook. Roasting a head of garlic at the same time and using it instead of the ras el hanout might be a nice change. I used a butternut pumpkin the first time I made it and a kent today, a paler shade but just as nice.
