Time 45m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small turnip, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small pumpkin or 1 small squash, peeled and thinly sliced
2 leeks, white bits sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200°C.
  • Put the pumpkin on a sheet of foil and bring the foil over the top of the pumpkin to create a sealed packet.
  • Put on a tray and bake for 1/2 hour.
  • About 10 minutes before the pumpkin is done, heat the oil in a pan and add the leeks and pumpkin.
  • Fry until the turnip is tender, adding a bit of water from time to time if necessary to keep the pan from drying out too much.
  • Add the baked pumpkin slices to the pan and cook a couple more minutes.
  • Season, then put in a bowl, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve.
