Sweet roasted butternut pumpkin and our humble friend broccoli are the heroes in this recipe. It’s great to give veg some love in these delicate flavour-packed dumplings. Crisp and soft in one mighty mouthful.

Ingredients

  • 500g butternut pumpkin

  • olive oil

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • 6cm piece of ginger

  • 80g broccoli

  • 1 teaspoon red miso paste

  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

  • 24 x 10cm square wonton wrappers

  • ½ a fresh red chilli

  • 2 spring onions

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • low-salt soy sauce

  • English mustard

  • 1 lime

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Quarter the pumpkin, deseed and toss with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then roast on a tray for 1 hour, or until soft and golden. Leave to cool.

    2. Peel the garlic and 2cm of the ginger, then whiz in a food processor with the broccoli, miso and vinegar until fine. Pulse in the pumpkin, then season to taste.

    3. One by one, lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrappers with your finger, add 1 heaped teaspoon of filling to the middle of each, and pinch together to seal (don't stress if they tear every now and again), placing them in a large oiled nonstick frying pan as you go. Put the pan over a high heat, then pour over 150ml of water and cover. Let it steam until the water has completely evaporated, then uncover and allow to fry, removing as soon as the bottoms are golden and crisp.

    4. Meanwhile, peel the remaining ginger, finely grate with the chilli, and place in a small dipping bowl. Trim and finely shred the spring onions, toast the sesame seeds, then serve with soy, mustard and lime wedges.

    Tips

    Easy swaps:

    • I love swapping in sweet peas, asparagus, water chestnuts and edamame. Delicious!

    • I'm using wonton wrappers here, but you could use homemade pasta, roll it out and treat it in exactly the same way.

    • Use sweet potato or any other root veg instead of the pumpkin. Use whatever green veg you have, finely sliced cabbage, spinach, spring onions … Mix it up and harness your veg power!

    • You could even add minced chicken if you've got it, or prawns.

    • I've used a food processor for the broccoli, but you can absolutely use a box grater and achieve the same effect.
