Pumpkin/Squash Purée
This delicious SWEET, HEALTHY mash is great as a side serving or as a lighter replacement to mash potato. It can be sweeten and used to make Pumpkin Pie… but my favourite way to use this mash is as the base ingredient for an epically yummy PB Mac n Cheese type dish - I'll get that recipe up on here under mains asap.
I'm always so excited when the first beautiful Squash and Pumpkins start to ripen in Autumn (as I am when it comes to the first of any seasonal veg actually)! But I feel there is something particularly comforting about the nourishment I know we'll be getting from these bright cheery orange beauties.
This mash is a great way to use up large amounts of Pumpkin or Winter Squash if you have an abundance at harvest time, if your stock is coming towards the end of their storage life (as is the case here and the inspiration for this recipes) or if you've just bought a whooper from your local Farmers Market or Store and LOVE pumpkin, like us!
