 Japanese pumpkin (kabocha) is not your Halloween variety, all watery and stringy. It has a dense texture, almost like a potato, and a rich flavor. Even my dog loves it. It makes a colorful, nutritious side dish.
- 1 kabocha pumpkin, scrubbed, seeded and cut in wedges
(You may peel the pumpkin, but I quite like the skin)
- butter
- salt/pepper
Using a steamer basket, steam pumpkin until you can easily insert a knife. Drench with melted butter, (Julia Child, no stranger to the substance, lived to be 91). Season with salt, pepper and serve alongside Kickass Turkey Meatloaf and Screamin' Greens for a delightful meal.
