Thursday:

Roasted Pumpkin with Coriander.

Roasted pumpkin sits just on the flavour border between sweet and savoury, and it can easily go either way. Adding chilli, garlic and fish sauce will help this dish over the savoury line but you really need to caramelise the pumpkin well to remove some of the sweetness of the added sugar and balance the dish. Serve this with a little steamed rice to make a light midweek meal.
