Steps:
- Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and put over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt, to taste, then cover the pot and let the onions wilt and get very soft, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the lid and cook until they get very brown and caramelized, do NOT rush this. Cook low and slow, about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the onions are really brown and sweet, add the pumpkin, garam masala and crushed red pepper. Season with salt, to taste, then add 1 cup of stock. Cover and cook over medium heat until the pumpkin has softened and started to become mushy, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and if the pumpkin is still a little hard add the remaining 1/2 cup of stock. Cook, stirring frequently, until the moisture reduces and the pumpkin becomes the consistency of mashed potatoes. Taste and season with salt, if needed. Transfer the pumpkin to a serving bowl and garnish with chives and pumpkin seeds.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C. Put the pumpkin in a roasting pan with the onion and sage. Season and pour over the olive oil. Cook for around 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
- While the pumpkin is cooking, make your dressing. In a small frying pan on a medium heat, toast the cumin seeds. This should only take a minute, and you will know it's ready when the dusk of the cumin is wafting round your kitchen. Cool for a minute, then squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and add the olive oil. Put this into a pitcher or something and leave to the side, stirring in the crème fraîche just before serving.
- Now, the greens. In a big frying pan, heat the olive oil and garlic. Throw in the greens and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Take the pumpkin out of the oven. Put the greens on a plate, top with the pumpkin, and cover with the dressing.

My mother served this attractive side dish for all her special dinners, so I've been eating carrots this way since I was a child. Even my dinner guests who aren't too fond of carrots ask for this recipe. The added sweetness from the honey is a pleasant surprise. -Joanie Elbourn, Gardner, Massachusetts

ROASTED PUMPKIN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES AND BROCCOLI
This is a great and hearty seasonal vegetable dish which can be used as a side dish or as an entire meal. The blend of seasoning adds a little spice and sweet. I came up with this recipe on a Sunday evening when I had 1 unused sweet potato, 1 unused redskin potato, and unused leftover pumpkin from the pumpkin butter recipe I found here on Allrecipes, which is great by the way. This recipe would make a great side dish for Thanksgiving.

Steps:
- In a large saute' pan on high heat, add butter, water, garlic, parsley, onion and carrots. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Add pumpkin (and bacon if using). Allow to cook stirring occasionally until liquid is evaporated and the veggies start to sizzle.
- Add bacon to veggies, and continue to saute' until veggies start to brown and caramelize. Salt to taste and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are small and have a sweet, flavorful flesh.
- Cut the pumpkin into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the vegetables plenty of room to brown.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a nice flavor.
- Stir the vegetables frequently: This will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Sautéed pumpkin with carrots and onions is a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and nutritious dish that the whole family will enjoy.
