Sage and pumpkin mash

Sage and pumpkin mash is a delightful seasonal dish that combines the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the aromatic flavor of sage. It's the perfect side dish for autumn dinners, bringing warmth and comfort to your table.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and cube the pumpkin and potato. Make sure the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
2. Cook the Pumpkin and Potato:
- Place the cubed pumpkin and potato into a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the vegetables.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
3. Prepare the Sage and Garlic:
- While the vegetables are cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped sage leaves to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the sage is slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Mash the Vegetables:
- Drain the cooked pumpkin and potato thoroughly and return them to the pot.
- Add the sautéed garlic and sage mixture, sour cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the pot.
- Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the sage and pumpkin mash to a serving dish.
- Garnish with a few whole sage leaves or an extra dollop of sour cream if desired.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious and savory sage and pumpkin mash!

Tips:

- Peel and chop the pumpkin and potato into evenly-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Cook the garlic cloves with the pumpkin and potato for a richer flavor.

- Use fresh sage for a more pronounced herbal note.

- Mash the ingredients while they are still hot for a smoother texture.

- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Sage and pumpkin mash is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together the best of autumn flavors.
