Some more ideas

*To make a substantial snack or light meal, toss 200 g (7 oz) feta cheese, diced, with the cooked pumpkin. Cut a part-baked ciabatta loaf in half, then slice each half in two horizontally. Lightly toast the cut sides of the bread, then pile the pumpkin mixture on top and grill for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with a mixed salad. *Try fresh thyme, oregano or rosemary with the pumpkin instead of sage. They all taste good with the slightly sweet vegetable.

Plus points

*Until quite recently, pumpkin only appeared in the shops for a short period around Halloween and then was used mainly for making lanterns. Now pumpkin is available for most of the autumn and winter. This delicious vegetable is a good source of fibre and a useful source of vitamin B1. *Onions and garlic are not just valuable assets in the kitchen, they have been used throughout history as a cure-all. Recent research suggests that they can help to lower blood cholesterol and so reduce the risk of heart disease.

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 100g yoghurt, whisked until smooth
  • 750ml water

Preparation method

  1. Heat oil and butter in a small frying pan or wok over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until very brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: This is an important step; if onion is not cooked well, sauce will taste funny.)

  5. Blend the whole mixture in food processor to puree it (for a very smooth sauce). Return to saucepan, add water and increase heat to high; bring sauce to a rolling boil. Cover saucepan and boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until desired consistency is reached.
  6. To serve with meat, cook the meat first separately, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes in the sauce before serving over rice or with naan. To serve with vegetables, steam raw veggies first 4 to 5 minutes, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes in the sauce before serving.

Some more ideas

As an alternative topping, mix 200 g (7 oz) fromage frais with 85 g (3 oz) finely grated Manchego cheese and the 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander. * To make a borlotti bean tortilla pie, soften the onion, then add the crushed garlic, 1 seeded and chopped yellow pepper, 250 g (8½ oz) chopped courgettes and 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) chopped bulb fennel. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes, ground coriander, sugar, stock cube or bouillon and seasoning to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add 2 cans borlotti beans, about 410 g each, drained and rinsed, and heat through. Layer the bean mixture with the flour tortillas, top with the yogurt mixture or the fromage frais mixture and bake as in the main recipe.

Plus points

Tortillas, whether made from masa harina, a type of cornmeal, or wheat, are a good source of starchy carbohydrates. * There is little nutritional difference between canned red kidney beans and cooked dried ones, and canned beans are certainly a lot more convenient. * Chicken is an excellent source of protein and a good source of many of the B vitamins, particularly B1 and niacin. Eaten without the skin, it is low in fat and the fat that is present in the meat is mainly the more beneficial unsaturated type.

  1. Put all the ingredients for the stock in a large saucepan with 1.4 litres (2½ pints) water – there's no need to peel or chop the ginger and spring onions as they will be discarded after cooking. Bring to the boil, skimming off any scum, then cover and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the stock and discard the flavourings.
  2. While the stock is simmering, rinse the dried mushrooms in cold water and put them in a bowl. Pour over boiling water to cover and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Drain, then discard the tough stalks and cut the mushroom caps into thin slices.
  3. Heat the sesame oil in a large saucepan, add the ginger and cook for 30 seconds, stirring. Add the shrimp stock and mushrooms, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the spring onions, bamboo shoots, shrimps or prawns, and soy and fish sauces. Bring back to the boil, then add the noodles and simmer for 2–3 minutes or until softened. Serve hot, sprinkled with coriander leaves.

Some more ideas

For a tasty variation, cook fish balls in the stock. To make the fish balls, put 150 g (5½ oz) skinless cod or haddock fillet in a blender or food processor with 1 spring onion, chopped, 1 cm (½ in) piece fresh root ginger, chopped, 1 tbsp beaten egg and 1 tbsp cornflour, and process until smooth. Chill the mixture while making the shrimp stock and soaking the mushrooms. Roll the fish mixture into 16 small balls. In step 3, omit the cooked shrimps or prawns and drop the fish balls into the boiling stock when you add the noodles. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until the balls float to the surface. Add 45 g (1½ oz) baby spinach leaves and bring back to the boil. Serve with shredded coriander leaves scattered over the top. * The soup can also be served as a light lunch dish. Simply add double the quantity of egg noodles (170 g/6 oz) and shrimps or prawns (250 g/9 oz).

Plus points

The variety of ingredients used in this tasty soup provides lots of essential nutrients, but the result is still very low in calories. * Shrimps and prawns are a good source of calcium, an essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth. * For centuries, ginger has been recognised as having medicinal properties, particularly aiding digestion and preventing nausea. Ginger biscuits are often recommended to pregnant women to help relieve the symptoms of morning sickness.
