Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I know, right? Edamame is what they're called here when they're fresh and in pods. I love having them in the freezer, such a good snack, and I love popping them out the pod
Over here all green soya beans can be called edamame beans and we can buy them loose and frozen. As they are already prepared, we can just defrost them for salads or heat them for hot dishes. I commonly heat them, let them cool just a little then add salt, garlic and a couple of drops of linseed (flaxseed) oil. They also sell them baked until crunchy as a snack.

Tonight we are going to make savory pumpkin empanadas, using the last of our homemade puree. Tomorrow's crockpot meal for the week is mushroom marsala with barley, to which I plan to add some peas and carrots to make it more hearty and balanced.

I really like empanadas or pasties as we call them. What will you be adding to the pumpkin purée for extra bite and flavour ? :)

The original recipe made sweet empandas. They seasoned the pumpkin with sugar, cinnamon, ginger and clove. We replaced the sugar with rolled oats to absorb the excess moisture from the puree. We kept the same spices as the original recipe and also added some of the sauce out of a can of chipotle peppers is adobo sauce. They turned out well.

That does sound like a tasty recipe. :) I also had some onion and garlic powder and smoked paprika when making savoury pumpkin recipes. I like to balance out the sweetness of the pumpkin. Buckwheat also pairs well with pumpkin, as it gives a slightly smokey flavour to it.
