  • Crumbled feta cheeseHalf a block
  • Pistachio granulesA handful

Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 3

    I cooked the basmati rice by absorption. In a pot, I poured a tablespoon of oil, toasted the rice, then added hot water until it was covered. Once the water was absorbed, the rice was ready.

  2. STEP 2 OF 3

    I seasoned it with salt and flavored it with curry. Then I paired it with pumpkin sautéed in a pan and flavored with herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. STEP 3 OF 3

    I plated the dish with rice, pumpkin, crumbled feta which pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the pumpkin, and pistachio granules.

Suggestions

  • A pan for sautéing the pumpkin

  • A pot for cooking the basmati rice
