Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling, seeding, and cubing enough pumpkin to yield 8 cups (960g). Cut the pumpkin into roughly 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed pumpkin and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce the pumpkin with a fork.
- Drain the cooked pumpkin thoroughly in a colander. Return the pumpkin to the pot or place in a large mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher or use a food processor for a smoother consistency. Add the olive oil and mix well to combine.
- While the pumpkin is cooking, prepare the maple butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, pure maple syrup, and ground cinnamon, if using. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add the maple butter to the mashed pumpkin and stir until well incorporated. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
- Transfer the mashed pumpkin to a serving dish. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top as a garnish. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Tip 1: Choose a good quality pumpkin for the best flavor. Sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins are ideal for their sweet and tender flesh.
- Tip 2: Make sure to peel and deseed the pumpkin properly before cooking to ensure a smooth and creamy mash.
- Tip 3: Adjust the amount of olive oil and parsley according to your taste preferences. Adding a pinch of salt can also enhance the overall flavor.
- Tip 4: For an extra smooth texture, you can use a food processor or blender to mash the pumpkin.
