I
mentioned yesterday the purchase of a pumpkin at our farmer's market this weekend. Well, here's why. I was craving my
Roasted Pumpkin Couscous. You need to take a little time to clean the sucker up.
The first thing I did was cut a slice off the bottom of the pumpkin, so I had a flat surface to work with. Then sliced in half, then quarters. From there I scooped the goop, and continued to cut the pumpkin into slices. I was able to easily remove the outer shell at this point and scrap out all the stringy bits from inside.
Dice the pumpkin. About 1/4 inch pieces.
Toss with dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil.
Roast in the oven on a parchment lined sheet.
Meanwhile...make some chicken! I seasoned some chicken thighs with salt, pepper and a mish mash of other herbs and spices. Then dipped the chicken in some flour and into a hot pan with olive oil. Get a good solid sear on the skin, get it nice and crispy. Flip the chicken over and add some onion, dry white wine and some chicken broth. Cover and put in the oven for about 15 minutes.
When the pumpkin is done from the oven, toss with some couscous and serve with the chicken, with the reduced sauce on top! Enjoy.
