Pumpkin [Hungarian Blue]

Hungarian Blue has light-grey to turquoise skin and bright orange flesh. A Crown Prince type with fruits that weigh about 6kg and store well. The skin can be pretty hard and difficult to remove so take care when cutting them up.

Winter squashes make excellent spicy wedges. Put a small amount of oil and spices in a bowl and stir in prepared squash until coated. Roast in a hot oven for 20 or 30 minutes until soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Serve in wraps with lettuce and yoghurt or guacamole, or as a side dish with chilli.
