EDF Cooking Contest--Pumpkin Challenge

[Mermade]

El Sapo-- Sorry I put up my entree before yours. I had the same idea before you posted. I don't think it makes much difference. Your dish will likely be significantly different and you'll crush me with your superior plating and photography--you always do. Anyway, I thought this method worked great. There was no fear of burning what with the oil in the nuts and the addition of a bit of olive oil too to the mixture. I added the pepita-pistachio mixture after searing for obvious reasons--I didn't want to lose all that good stuff! Can't wait to see your dish!
