    Kitchen Butterfly's Notes: I love the warmth and scent of freshly roasted whole cumin seeds, especially in 'Orange' coloured things.....everything from pumpkin and sweet potatoes to carrots and oranges (orange curd...

Serves 4-6

  1. Heat butter in a pan and when melted, add all the vegetables. Stir and toss about for about 5 minutes...to enhance the sweetness of the vegetables

  2. Then add the water and garlic, put a lid on the pan and let simmer on low-medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft

  3. While the vegetables are simmering, heat a frying pan and toss in the cumin seeds. Shake/stir seeds in pan till they become fragrant and brown a bit, about 1-2 minutes. Once they are roasted, take them off the heat and crush in a mortar or with the back of a tablespoon (somewhat harder though than using the mortar and pestle!)

  4. When vegetables are done, mash the veggies by passing through a 'Potato ricer' for a smooth puree. For a 'chunky' puree, use a hand-held masher. Don't process in a blender or food processor or you'll end up with glue

    Ask a question about this step
  5. Stir in Creme Fraiche/Greek Yoghurt and crushed cumin to the puree and taste. Salt if necessary. Sprinkle a little black pepper if desired

    Ask a question about this step
  6. Serve immediately with loads of chopped fresh parsley...delicious!
