  1. THE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin pieces and the Carrot chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. RED PEPPER SAUCE

    When the roast has 15 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced Onion and fry for 3-4 minutes, until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and the red pepper pieces and fry for 2-3 minutes, shifting constantly. On completion, place in a blender along with the Tomato Passata, 50ml of boiling water, and some seasoning. Pulse until smooth.

  3. MUSSEL MANIA

    Return the creamy red pepper sauce to the pot and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the Mussels, cover with a lid, and steam for 3-5 minutes until warmed through (don’t worry they are pre-cooked!). Remove from the heat on completion.

  4. VEGGIE SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the rinsed Salad Leaves, the chopped Walnuts, the roasted pumpkin and Carrot, seasoning, the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, and a drizzle of oil.
