Spiced Pumpkin Soup 🎃
DID YOU KNOW?
In the UK alone it’s estimated that this year around 39.9 million pumpkins will be bought and 22.2 million will go to waste after Halloween - that’s a whopping £32.6 million worth of edible food (Hubbub) 🦇
That’s bad for our planet and a waste of perfectly good food! Make sure to try this delicious pumpkin soup once Halloween is over 🎃
Ingredients
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
500ml Vegetable or chicken stock
1 pumpkin, roasting optional (1 hour at 180C)
1 small pot double cream (optional)
2 tsp allspice
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chilli flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
1. Chop up your pumpkin and scoop the seeds out but don’t throw them away! Place the pumpkin on a roasting tray with some oil, salt, and spices and pop in the oven on 160-180C for around an hour or until soft.
2. While this is roasting, you can prep your onions and carrots ready to start the soup. Get them in a big soup pan on a low heat and sweat them down for 10 minutes or so until soft. Add your spices just at the end and let the flavours develop for a few minutes
3. In the meantime, turn your pumpkin into a purée by blending. Add your pumpkin and stock to the pot and simmer until a nice consistency
4. At the end I like to stir through a pot of cream to make it nice and creamy but this is optional. Leave it out and use a veg stock for a delicious vegan soup 🤠
Don’t throw away your pumpkin seeds. Instead, toast them in spices and serve on top with some fresh herbs (recipe out tomorrow!) 🌿
Don’t forget to save this reel so you can turn your pumpkins into something delicious after Halloween is over and make sure to follow for more delicious and sustainable recipes ❤️

Tempura spring onions with sweet chilli mayo 🌶
These are on the menu @rootbristol and in their cook book written by @robjhowell - such a great dish and well worth giving a go. They’re so easy to make and so tasty 🤤
I used one bunch of spring onions here
Ingredients:
- 70g plain flour
- 30g cornflour
- 1 pinch bicarb of soda
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 100ml sparkling water
- Handful of coriander, chopped
- 1 tsp onion powder (recipe on my page)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
-A generous pinch of salt
- 100g pine nuts (Robs recipe uses peanuts but I couldn’t get my hands on any and these worked very well)
Method:
1. To make the crumb, toast your pine nuts in a fry pan on a medium heat until they start to pick up some colour then blend for a second
2. Wash and prep your spring onions by chopping off the root end
3. Mix all the ingredients together to form the tempura batter. Dip your spring onions in and make sure they’re coated.
4. Heat up some vegetable oil in a pan to 180 Celsius and fry spring onions until lightly golden
5. Take out and rest on a tea towel. Serve topped with the fresh chopped coriander, pine nut crumb and onion powder. I was using sweet chilli sauce mixed with mayo to dip but there’s a recipe for homemade sweet chilli sauce in the Root cook book

Oh my god I made some caramelised onion hot sauce 🌶
I used fermented chillies and it was so good - you should definitely try it!!
If you fancy giving this a try you can go and watch my reel on how to ferment chillies. You don’t have to ferment the chillies, but it’s super easy and results in some deliciously tangy spicy bois 🥵
INGREDIENTS
500g of red chillies
2 onions
3 cloves of garlic
50ml white wine vinegar
100ml fermented chilli brine
1 tbsp brown sugar
METHOD
1. Slice the onions and fry in some oil with a pinch of salt and sugar on a low heat for 20 minutes or until caramelised. Stir them every now and then so they don’t stick and to get an even cook. Add the garlic in for the last 5 minutes.
2. Add all the ingredients to a blender and give them a little wiz until your desired consistency. I like mine nice and smooth but you can leave it chunky.
The quantities I’ve used give a nice, well balanced sauce. However, spice is a very personal thing so you can totally play around with the quantities according to your preferences
Don’t forget to save this for later and share with any hot sauce lovers. This isn’t a recipe you wanna miss 🔥

Simple Soy Sauce, Chilli & Ginger Dressing 🌶
This goes perfectly with the miso aubergine recipe I uploaded recently and it’s super quick and easy to make - it’s a slight alteration on the dressing @missminifer uses with her miso aubergine dish, just with less lime juice in
This also works brilliantly as a salad dressing. Just toss through some crispy kale for a super quick and delicious side
INGREDIENTS
1 red chilli, finely chopped
2cm ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 lime, juiced and zested
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
3 spring onions, thinly sliced
METHOD
1. Mix all the ingredients together - I told you it was easy 🤪

Smokey marinated tempeh with kimchi fried rice
This is my favourite meal at the moment - it’s quick, it’s delicious, and it’s healthy
I’ve recently become a little bit obsessed with tempeh at the moment. It’s a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soy beans and is a fantastic meat replacement. It’s high in protein, vitamins and minerals, and gut friendly prebiotics and probiotics 🤠
It’s production also creates 94% fewer CO2 emissions than that of beef so is a perfect swap to make some tasty meat free meals without missing out on flavour or nutrients
INGREDIENTS FOR 2 SERVINGS
TEMPEH
200g pack of tempeh
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp celery salt (or normal salt)
KIMCHI FRIED RICE
5 eggs
1 onion, finely sliced
1 chilli, finely sliced
1 spring onion, finely sliced
1 bowl of cooked rice
A splash of soy sauce
A few scoops of kimchi (see my page for recipe)
A sprinkle of sesame seeds
METHOD:
1. Prepare your marinade by mixing all the ingredients together. Tear up your tempeh by hand into bite size chunks. Tearing it rather than chopping it gives a much nicer texture for the marinade to stick to. Add to the bowl and mix, ensuring the tempeh is fully covered
2. Beat the eggs with a fork and add to a well oiled hot pan. I was using my carbon steel wok here which I’ll talk about in a future post. Scramble the eggs on a medium heat for a minute or two and remove from the pan just before they fully set
3. Top up pan with oil if required and whack up to a medium high heat. Add your onions, chilli, and spring onions here and fry until fragrant. Go in with the tempeh and fry until it starts to crisp up, for another 2-3 minutes
4. Go in with your cooked rice and add a splash of soy sauce and maybe some water to help steam the rice. You want this to break the rice up with a spoon and get piping hot. Let this cook through for a good 5-10 minutes
5. Turn off the heat and and you
