Pumpkin seeds

[Kirki]

i have just bought some pumpkin seeds, they taste pretty boring on their own (a bit like cardboard) and i was wondering what else i could put them with? ps i dont eat salads

[woofgang]

try toasting them a little before eating or frying in a very little oil then dressing with salt

[Dick Cheese]

Have them with steak and chips! But tell me, if pumpkin seeds are really boring, why buy them?

Toast them gently and sprinkle over cooked green beans - delicious with most meats and/or pasta dishes.

I put them in breakfast cereal with some freeze dried fruits. Or toast them in the oven or a dry frying pan and then add them as a topping to soups. You can also mix them into couscous or rice.

Try also sprinkling with vanilla essence and then roasting them. (but be careful as the essence contains alcohol and may ignite!)

They're delicious fried in bacon fat with Black pudding,Eggs,Chips and Beans.

I have them stirred into pasta and peston, but I think they're lovely just toasted with a bit of salt.

I put mine in a bowl, sprinkle over some sweet soy sauce and chili powder and a tiny bit of plain oil, roast them in a hot oven on a baking tray until the soy is dry (you need to keep turning them to make sure they don't burn). Leave to cool (or they really burn your mouth!) and keep in an airtight jar. Really nice on stir fries, or stirred into rice to accompany chinese-style food. Or just eat in front of the telly with a glass of cold beer........
