When the weather starts to cool in Arizona (I’m talking 90-degree weather!), I start to crave comfort and cooked food. These Autumn-Spiced Pumpkin Raviolis with Sage Brown Butter are fancy enough for company, but are also great to make with kids. It will take a bit of your time, but all the steps are very easy, and trust me the result is beyond words. I decided to flavor them with spices that reminds of the harvest and this special time of the year where everything is bountiful and full of the last rays of sunshine. I hope you enjoy them!

Autumn-Spiced Pumpkin Raviolis with Sage Brown Butter

  • Author: Karine K
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cooking pumpkin, halved and seeded
  • 4 cloves of garlic, left whole
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas, keep the chickpeas for another use)
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, plus more for serving
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 9 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 25 sage leaves, left whole
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ยฐ. Coat all sides of the pumpkin and garlic cloves with the olive oil, and sprinkle generously with sea salt and pepper. Place the pumpkin halves, cut side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place two garlic cloves under each half. Transfer to the oven, and roast until tender, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

While the pumpkin cooks, mix the semolina flour and the all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the aquafaba and the water, and mix well with your hands, until you obtain a soft and uniform ball of dough. If the dough is too wet, add a little flour. If it is too dry, add a little water, one teaspoon at a time. Place the ball of dough in a plastic wrap and place in the fridge to rest for 40 minutes.

While the dough rests, scoop out 1 cup of flesh from the roasted pumpkin. Keep the rest for another use, like in a soup, or in a sauce. Transfer the flesh to a food processor. Peel the garlic cloves and add to the food processor. Add the toasted pecans, the cinnamon, the cloves, the nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of the butter, the maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Process until smooth. Set aside.

After resting time, remove the dough from the fridge and from the plastic wrap. On a lightly flour-dusted surface, roll out the dough, using a rolling pin, until smooth and very thin. Using a 2-in cookie cutter, or any other round cup similar in diameter, cut dough into circles. Make a ball with the unused dough, and roll out again until smooth and thin. Cut out more circles, until you use all the dough.

Scoop out a very scant teaspoon of pumpkin mixture in the center of half the circles (the โ€œbottomsโ€). Using your fingers, spread a small amount of water around the inside perimeter of the dough โ€œtopsโ€. Place them on top of the filled dough bottoms and press around the edges to seal properly. You should have approximately 40 raviolis.

Heat the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan, over medium-high heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until they are crispy and the butter is golden brown, approximately 5-10 minutes, adjusting the heat to make sure not to burn the butter.

While the butter cooks, cook the raviolis. Place them, without overcrowding, in a large pot of salted boiling water, for 4-5 minutes. I did mine in two batches.

Place some raviolis in a plate, spoon some of the sage butter on top, along with the crispy sage, and garnish with toasted pecans. Bon appรฉtit!

Notes

I like cutting up the leftover pumpkin and roasting while I make the raviolis. Simply cut into small cubes, season with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Place in a 425หš oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve with the raviolis along with the sage brown butter, the crispy sage, and the toasted pecans.

Raviolis ร  la citrouille avec beurre ร  la sauge

Lorsque l’automne se fait sentir en Arizona (je parle de tempรฉratures plutรดt clรฉmentes, dans les vingt degrรฉs), on sent le besoin de concocter des petits plats rรฉconfortants, aux รฉpices qui annoncent le temps des rรฉcoltes. Ces raviolis sont superbes pour un repas officiel, mais sont aussi un plaisir ร  prรฉparer avec les enfants. Vous devrez y mettre un peu de temps, certes, mais les รฉtapes sont toutes faciles ร  suivre.

  • Author: Karine K
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 portions 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 petite citrouille ร  cuire, coupรฉe en deux et รฉpรฉpinรฉe
  • 4 gousses d’ail entiรจres
  • 2 c. ร  soupe d’huile d’olive
  • 1 tasse de farine de semoule
  • 1 tasse de farine tout usage
  • 1/2 tasse d’aquafaba (liquide d’une boรฎte de pois chiches, garder les pois chiches pour un autre usage, comme cette soupe)
  • 3 c. ร  soupe d’eau
  • 1/2 tasse de pacanes rรดties, et plus pour la garniture
  • 1/8 c. ร  thรฉ de cannelle
  • 1/8 c. ร  thรฉ de clou de girofle moulu
  • 1/8 c. ร  thรฉ de muscade
  • 9 c. ร  soupe de beurre, divisรฉ
  • 1 c. ร  thรฉ de sirop d’รฉrable
  • 25 feuilles de sauge entiรจres
  • Sel de mer et poivre, au goรปt

Instructions

Prรฉchauffer le four ร  400ยฐ. Badigeonner la citrouille et les gousses dโ€™ail avec lโ€™huile dโ€™olive et assaisonner gรฉnรฉreusement de sel de mer et de poivre. Placer les moitiรฉs de citrouille, partie coupรฉe vers le bas, sur une plaque de cuisson prรฉalablement recouverte de papier parchemin. Insรฉrer les gousses d’ail sous chacune des moitiรฉs. Mettre au four et cuire jusquโ€™ร  ce que la courge soit tendre, environ 40-45 minutes. Retirer du four et laisser refroidir.

Dans un grand bol, mรฉlanger la farine de semoule et la farine tout usage. Ajouter lโ€™aquafaba et lโ€™eau. Bien mรฉlanger avec les mains, jusquโ€™ร  lโ€™obtention dโ€™une pรขte lisse et uniforme. Si la pรขte est trop mouillรฉe, ajouter de la farine. Si elle est trop sรจche, ajouter un peu dโ€™eau, une cuillรจre ร  thรฉ ร  la fois. Placer la pรขte dans un papier plastique et mettre au rรฉfrigรฉrateur pendant 40 minutes.

Pendant que la pรขte repose au rรฉfrigรฉrateur, mesurer 1 tasse de citrouille. Conserver les restes au rรฉfrigรฉrateur pour une autre utilisation. Mettre la tasse de citrouille dans le bol dโ€™un robot culinaire. Ajouter les pacanes rรดties, la cannelle, le clou de girofle, la muscade, 1 c. ร  soupe de beurre et le sirop dโ€™รฉrable. Pulser jusquโ€™ร  lโ€™obtention dโ€™un mรฉlange onctueux. Rรฉserver.

Retirer la pรขte du rรฉfrigรฉrateur. Sur une surface lรฉgรจrement enfarinรฉe, rouler la pรขte trรจs mince. En utilisant un emporte-piรจce de deux pouces de diamรจtre, ou un contenant avec un diamรจtre semblable, couper la pรขte en cercles. Faire une boule avec les restes de pรขte, et rouler ร  nouveau et dรฉcouper le reste des cercles, jusquโ€™ร  ce quโ€™il nโ€™y ait plus de pรขte.

Mesurer 1 petite cuillรจre ร  thรฉ de garniture et dรฉposer dans le milieu de la moitiรฉ des cercles (les โ€œfondsโ€). Avec les doigts, mouiller le pรฉrimรจtre de chacun des โ€œdessusโ€ et dรฉposer sur les โ€œfondsโ€ garnis. Presser sur les rebords afin de les faire adhรฉrer. Vous devriez obtenir environ 40 raviolis.

Chauffer le reste du beurre (8 c. ร  soupe), ร  feu moyen-รฉlevรฉ. Ajouter les feuilles de sauge et cuire jusquโ€™ร  ce quโ€™elle soient croustillantes et que le beurre soit dorรฉ, environ 5 ร  10 minutes.

Pendant que le beurre ร  la sauge cuit, faire cuire les raviolis. Placer dans une grande casserole dโ€™eau salรฉe bouillante, pendant 4 ร  5 minutes. Jโ€™ai cuit les miens en deux fois.

Placer les raviolis dans une assiette et garnir de beurre, de feuilles de sauge croustillante, et de pacanes rรดties. Bon appรฉtit!

Notes

Parfois, je coupe les restes de citrouilles en petits cubes. J’assaisonne librement d’huile d’olive, de sel de mer et de poivre, et je place au four, ร  425หš pendant 15 ร  20 minutes. Vous pouvez donc servir les raviolis avec le beurre ร  la sauge, les feuilles de sauge, les pacanes et la citrouille rรดtie.

Banza Rotini with Leeks and Shiitake Mushrooms

Banza Rotini with Leeks and Shiitake Mushrooms

This Banza Rotini with Leeks and Shiitake Mushrooms is a protein-packed dish. If you eat a plant-based diet and protein intake is on your mind, this recipe is for you. Take comfort in knowing that just the pasta part of the meal already contains 25 grams of clean, plant-based protein. Banza is awesome that way, because their pastas are made from chickpeas. You eat pasta, you eat chickpeas! Whatever you add to this will simply boost your nutrient intake, so it’s a hefty good start!

Here, I used one of my favorite combinations: mushrooms and leeks. The slowly cooked leeks become silky savory, and the coconut milk brings you a nice dose of healthy fats along with the creaminess that is so pleasant with mushrooms. I add some warming jerk spices, to complete the flavor profile, in a simple addition, but you could skip that step and still get something fabulous, all in one pot, with less than 10 ingredients!

Squash and Bell Pepper Soup with Maple Pecans and Pomegranate

Squash and Bell Pepper Soup with Maple Pecans and Pomegranate
Squash and Bell Pepper Soup with Maple Pecans and Pomegranate

Squash and Bell Pepper Soup with Maple Pecans and Pomegranate. I had kabocha squash on hand, but this is a wonderful recipe for any winter squash, like acorn or butternut. I also added two roasted bell peppers to add more depth. This is an easy recipe that will provide you with a nice change of flavors, thanks to smoked paprika. The pomegranate seeds bring a freshness and the maple pecans, a nice, sweet and spicy crunch.

  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Soup

  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeรฑo, seeded and chopped
  • 23 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cups kabocha squash, or any winter squash, chopped into 1-inch chunks

Maple Pecans

  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

Make the soup

To roast the bell peppers, place them whole directly on the open flame of a gas burner or on the grill. Cook, turning often using tongs, until the skin is charred and the peppers are tender. Place in a heatproof bowl, cover with a plate and let cool. The skin will loosen as the peppers steam. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and chop roughly.

In a soup pot, heat up the grapeseed oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sautรฉ until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeรฑo, and thyme. Sautรฉ while stirring for 1 minute. Add the smoked paprika and stir until well coated. Add the vegetable broth, the squash, and the sweet potato. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a medium and simmer, covered, until the squash and potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Add the roasted bell peppers and the salt, and cook for 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat and let cool. Remove the thyme sprigs. Transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and purรฉe until desired consistency.

Make the maple pecans

Heat oven to 350ยฐ. Combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Add the pecans and stir until they are well coated. Place the pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes, turning the pecans halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Serve the soup with the pecans and the pomegranate seeds. Bon appรฉtit!

Pour la soupe:

Pour griller les poivrons, placer directement sur la flamme d’un brรปleur au gaz ou sur le grill. Cuire ร  l’aide de pinces, en tournant les poivrons souvent, jusqu’ร  ce que la peau soit complรจtement grillรฉe et que les poivrons soient tendres.

Retirer du feu, goรปter, et ajuster les assaisonnements. Laisser refroidir lรฉgรจrement et retirer les branches de thym.

Mettre dans un mรฉlangeur (ou utiliser un mรฉlangeur ร  immersion) et mรฉlanger jusqu’ร  la consistance dรฉsirรฉe.

Pour les pacanes ร  l’รฉrable:

Chauffer le four ร  350ยฐ. Dans un petit bol, combiner le sirop d’รฉrable, la cassonade, le sel, et le cayenne. Ajouter les pacanes et mรฉlanger pour bien les recouvrir. Placer les pacanes sur une plaque de cuisson recouverte de papier parchemin. Mettre au four 10 minutes, en tournant les pacanes aprรจs 5 minutes de cuisson. Retirer du four et laisser reposer.

Servir la soupe avec les pacanes et les graines de pomme grenade fraรฎches. Bon appรฉtit!
