Ingredients

  • 2 lb ironbark pumpkin (or pumpkin of your choice) 
  • 1 1/4 cup Chicken stock 
  • 1 c heavy cream 
  • 1/3 c crème fraîche
  • olive oil 
  • salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 

Instructions

1. Peel 2/3 of the pumpkin, cut it into medium sized cubes, saving the rest for finishing. Sauté the cubes, without browning, in a stewpan with olive oil. 

2. Season with salt and add the chicken stock. Cover and cook over low heat. 

3. Once pumpkin pieces are soft (test it with a fork), blend using an immersion blender, slowly adding the cream. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper (and any other desired seasonings) to taste.  

4. Cut the remaining pumpkin into brunoise (fine dice). Fry the pieces in olive oil, browning on all sides. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil and keep warm.

5. Place the brunoise garnish in the base of the bowl, then pour in your hot velouté.

6. *optional* Decorate your dish with some spooky finishing touches: place some the crème fraîche on top of the bowl and gently swirl it around to create a spider-web like design.
