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.
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.
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.
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.
