VF-1.jpg

All good things come to an end :( BUT NO TEARS HERE LET’S FEAST ONE MORE TIME BEfORE WE CALL IT THE SCC END!!!

As an SCC lover and supporter, I couldn’t but make one last feast to get the holiday season started and pay special respects to the SCC who I loved and still am loving till the last bit. I was honored to be a participant, supporter, winner, and judge during the past year and a half it must be…. Wow, time flies!

I had a free day today and you can probably guess where I have been. Yes, the kitchen… though it was more work than initially thought.. I always underestimate the time taking pictures takes… I had some good fun and a beautiful feast after.

Let me break up the table for you


1. Pumpkin rosemary and onion crackers


Ingredients


  • ½ cup flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ tsp sea salt
  • Lots of black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ cup mashed pumpkin (boiled or roasted). I boiled mine because there was so much going on in the oven.

(FYI: I made more pumpkin mash and used it for the hummus too)

Directions


  1. Boil or roast pumpkin and mash really well.
  2. Mix the baking powder, herbs, and flour. Add pumpkin puree and olive oil and knead until the dough comes together and form a big ball. Add a little more flour if too wet.
  3. Flatten the ball with your hands and a rolling pin on a floured parchment or silicone mat as thin as possible.
  4. Make cuts with a knife to form squares or diamonds.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven of 190C or 370F for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
