Cinnamon pumpkin panckes

pumpkin pancakes

Slightly spicy, these pumpkin pancakes are easy to whip up for a week end breakfast or brunch.

This is my second recipe with my recent pumpkin, because lets face it when buying  a large pumpkin, or even half a pumpkin there is always going to be a lot of it around to use.

What you need to make a batch (about 15):

Perhaps because these reminded me of pumpkin fritters I just had to dust this with cinnamon and sugar, but you could also serve with butter and syrup.

roasted pumpkin risotto with blue cheese and toasted pine nuts

This is a hearty vegetarian risotto that is perfect comfort food for our chilly Autumn days and as we head into Winter.

I had a beautiful Crown Prince pumpkin (the one with a grey outer colour and deep orange flesh) and have reached the conclusion that I prefer it to butternut as it seems to me to have a little more flavour. I love to roast it in a splash of chilli oil to offset the caramel sweet character it starts to take on.

In this recipe I have used a Gorgonzola style blue cheese to give it a nice salty creaminess, and chopped fresh thyme for its earthy flavour.
