INGREDIENTS
800 grams crown pumpkin, peeled

1 tablespoon dukkah
finely grated zest and juice 1 lemon
¾ cup thick plain yoghurt
2 tablespoons olive oil

extra olive oil and dukkah
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
Cut the pumpkin into small chunks and toss with the oil. Place on a lined baking tray and season well. Roast for 25 minutes, turning occasionally until very tender. Cool.
Place the pumpkin and all the remaining ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season.
