Roasted Pumpkin Toast and Purslane Salad with Roasted Pumpkin Cubes: My Pumpkin Journey The Unfamiliar Territory

Image
As I'm writing this, my youtube video of pumpkin recipes are being uploaded and I am snacking on the leftover roasted pumpkin seeds. Since the beginning of October, I've been meaning to make different pumpkin recipes but, as usual, I have been procrastinating and delaying the whole thing. Mainly because we usually make a dessert from pumpkins. Cut them into big chunks, pour lots of sugar on top and cook them really slowly on the stove. Then pour tahini over and sprinkle some walnuts and that's it.  I'm not really used to the savoury pumpkin recipes and I had only tried it once as a soup at some restaurant, which I liked undoubtedly.
