4.Spread on tray. Roast 20 minutes. Turn pumpkin pieces, then roast a further 7 to 10 minutes until nicely colored but holding it’s shape, rather than being a mushy mess.
Lemon Yogurt Sauce
1.Mix ingredients then set aside for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Sprinkling & Garnishes
1.Preheat skillet over medium high heat (no oil). Add pine nuts and cook, stirring regularly, until it smells amazing and it’s got a hint of browning on both sides. Remove from pan.
Serving
1.Pile the pumpkin in a mound on a plate. Drizzle over yogurt sauce, add a little drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with sumac, pine nuts and coriander.
2. Best served with the pumpkin hot or warm, but for a warm summer day, it is also excellent served at room temperature. Just cool pumpkin, then dress and garnish just before serving.
Ingredients:
1 (13.8oz) tube refrigerated pizza dough
1/4 cup olive oil, for brushing
1/2 tbsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp sesame seeds
3 black olives
12 dried chiles
Tomato soup for 12

2.Wrap each rope in a spiral around a greased 10 1/2 inch chopstick. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle body with poppy seeds and tails with sesame seeds. Cut black olives into small triangles and place on the head of each snake to make the eyes.
3.Bake on two parchment paper- liner baking sheets at 350°F until golden brown, 15 to 18 mins. Cool 3 mins. before carefully removing chopsticks.
4. While still warm, use a toothpick to carefully thread dried chiles (cut into tongues) into the tip of the flat end of each snake to make the tongue. Serve with store bought tomato soup. For added flair, put the soup in a cauldron-like cast iron pot.
