  1. ROAST PUMPKIN PIECES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin cubes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, some seasoning, and the Indian Rub to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. BROODJIE PREP

    Butter both slices of country loaf on one side. Use three-quarters of the coriander & chilli pesto to spread over the unbuttered sides (reserving the rest for garnish). Smear the chutney over the pesto. Sprinkle some grated Stanford cheese on top of the chutney and season to taste. Place another slice on top, buttered-side up. Set aside until ready for grilling.

  3. GET COOKIN’

    When the pumpkin is nearing completion, boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for a minute until fragrant, shifting regularly. Add the vegetable stock, 300ml of boiling water, and the curry powder to taste. Stir for a minute until combined. Add in the cooked pumpkin and simmer for 2-3 minutes until it absorbs the flavour from the sauce. Remove from the heat on completion.

  4. BLEND YOUR SOUP

    Pour the contents of the pot into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return it to the pot and stir through three-quarters of the cream, reserving a little for garnish. Season to taste and pop on a lid. Keep warm over a low heat while you toast the broodjie, stirring occasionally.

  5. TOAST THE BROODJIE

    Place a regular pan or a grill pan over a medium heat. When hot, grill the broodjie on one side for 2 minutes until golden. Flip and grill for 2 minutes on the other side until golden. On completion, the cheese should be melted. Allow to drain on some paper towel before serving.

  6. COSY UP!

    Fill a bowl with the creamy pumpkin soup. Partially stir through the remaining cream and pesto so they create swirls. Serve with the cheesy broodjie on the side for dunking. Scrumptious, Chef!
