Roasted pumpkin, garlic and caramelised onion mash

Roasted pumpkin, garlic, and caramelised onion mash is a perfect autumn dish that combines the sweet, earthy flavors of pumpkin and caramelised onion with the rich, creamy texture of mashed potatoes. This recipe is perfect as a side dish for any meal or as a comforting, standalone dish.

Ingredients:

6 cups pumpkin
720g
2 potatoes
400g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 onion
160g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g

Instructions:

1. Prep & Roast the Vegetables:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the cubed pumpkin and potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the vegetables with cooking spray oil.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Use a fork to check for tenderness.
2. Caramelize the Onions:
- While the vegetables are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent.
- Add the 2 tsp brown sugar and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
- Pour in the 1 tbsp vinegar and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vinegar has evaporated.
3. Prepare the Mash:
- Once the pumpkin and potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the minced garlic, 1/3 cup sour cream, and 1 tbsp butter.
- Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency to your liking; you can add a bit more sour cream if necessary.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine & Serve:
- Gently fold the caramelized onions into the pumpkin and potato mash until evenly distributed.
- Serve hot as a delightful side dish to complement your main course.

Tips:

- Ensure even roasting: Cut the pumpkin and potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure they roast evenly and finish cooking at the same time.

- Roast garlic properly: Roast the garlic cloves in their skins alongside the pumpkin and potatoes to prevent them from burning and to enhance their sweetness.

- Caramelise onions slowly: Caramelise the onions slowly over low heat, allowing the natural sugars to release and deepen in flavor without burning.

- Adjust consistency: Adjust the consistency of the mash by adding more or less sour cream and butter to suit your preference.

- Use a food processor: For an extra smooth and creamy mash, consider using a food processor instead of mashing by hand.

This roasted pumpkin, garlic, and caramelised onion mash is a delicious and versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. The combination of sweet caramelised onions, roasted garlic, and creamy pumpkin creates a rich and satisfying flavor that everyone will love.
