At home we prepare a vegetable puree or cream every week. They are a great resource as a first course at lunch or as a main course at dinner. And they are so easy to make ... The pumpkin one is probably our favorite, especially when we use roasted pumpkin to prepare it.
Roasted pumpkin puree has a point extra sweetness respect those in which the pumpkin is cooked. It takes longer to prepare but it's worth it! Along with the pumpkin, we will also put onion, garlic and a piece of ginger on the oven tray.
If you are not used to use ginger, start with a tiny piece. As with spices, it is better to start this way, little by little, incorporating it in greater quantity as our palate asks for it. Do you dare to prepare this pumpkin puree?
