The perfect baked pumpkin with wild rice and orange sesame sauce recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

for the orange sesame sauce:

  • 250 g Wild rice mix
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1 Pc. Clove of garlic
  • 1 tsp Fleur de sel
  • 1 large handful Arugula
  • 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
  • 4 tbsp Cranberries or raisins
  • 4 tsp Dukkah spice mix, see my cookbook
  • 2 Pc. Oranges, the juice of them
  • 100 ml Tahini
  • 3 tsp Maple syrup
  • 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Tamari
  • 1 tsp Orange peel zest
  • 1 Msp Ground or freshly grated ginger
  • 50 ml Water
  • Fleur de sel
  1. Prepare the rice in boiling salted water (or vegetable stock) according to the instructions on the packet. Halve and core the pumpkin and cut into thin crescent-shaped wedges. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush with melted coconut oil. Press the garlic through the press and spread it on the pumpkin wedges. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  2. Bake the pumpkin on the middle rack in the preheated oven at 200 degrees top / bottom heat for about 20 – 30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cracks). Then mix rice and washed rocket and arrange on plates with the pumpkin. Scatter the dukkah spice (one teaspoon per plate), cranberries / raisins and parsley on top. Finally, drizzle with the orange and sesame sauce.

Preparation of the sauce:

  1. Stir the specified ingredients until creamy and finally season with salt. If you want, you can stir in chilli flakes.
  2. Instead of oranges you can also use tangerines. You then need about 70 – 80 ml. The sauce will keep for several days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Also tastes good as a dip with vegetable sticks etc …
  3. You can also use other vegetables instead of pumpkin. Carrots or sweet potatoes are suitable e.g. good. You can also omit the rice entirely and use more arugula instead.
