Winter Pumpkin
per kilogram
Description
Winter pumpkins are a delicious addition to your cold season meal. Choose red or green compact versions of this special cultivar to cook Heaven-and-Earth Tempura Cakes or Pumpkin Puree with Ginger. Its distinctive bottom with a circular ridge, though, gives it away. On some, the ridge may surround a more pronounced bump, or "turban." A freshly cut buttercup may smell like a clean, fragrant cucumber, but once cooked, its orange flesh becomes dense, a bit dry, and very mild.

Special Recipe
Peach Salsa
4 ripe but firm yellow peaches
2-3 Tbsp chopped shallots or onions
2-3 jalapenos
Lemon juice
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
2 Tbsp grated ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and black pepper to taste
- Prepare peaches. Skin on or off, your choice, skin on makes for better color, but if skin is too thick or fuzzy you may want to peel first. Then chop.
- Put the chopped peaches, shallots, and jalapeños in the bowl of a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients. Pulse 2-3 times, just enough to get most the pieces small and to well combine the salsa. Do not liquefy it.
- Place salsa into a bowl and cover. Let stand for an hour before serving to give the ingredients time to meld.
- Serve with chips, with fish, pork, or chicken.
