Porgy With Starfruit And Pumpkin Seeds Recipes

CURRIED PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the pumpkin seeds in a large bowl with the coconut oil until well coated. Sprinkle with the curry powder and salt and toss to coat completely. Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring halfway through and rotating the baking sheet, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PIZZA PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coat a parchment-lined baking sheet with 1/4 cup of the olive oil.
• Cut a 10-inch circle in the top of the pumpkin and remove the top. Scrape out the pulp and seeds with a large spoon and remove to a bowl. Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, then rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water. Shake the seeds dry; don't blot them with paper towels--they will stick.
• Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake until beginning to dry out, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the tomato paste, oregano, granulated garlic, red pepper flakes, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the baked pumpkin seeds and toss until evenly coated. Spread the seeds back on the original baking sheet and continue to bake until the seeds are golden brown, another 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the seeds with the Parmesan and continue to bake until the cheese starts to turn a light golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Cool before serving.

PORGY WITH STARFRUIT AND PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Sprinkle the fish evenly with the salt and then place in the pan. Cook until translucent, and then flip and add the butter. Cook until the butter is brown, then add the pumpkin seeds, shallots and starfruit. Saute until the shallots are translucent and the starfruit is blistered. Baste the fish with the butter, shallot and starfruit juices and remove from the pan. Place the fish on a plate and spoon the starfruit and pumpkin seeds over and around the fish.

CHIPOTLE LIME PUMPKIN SEEDS

Sprinkle the mixture over the pumpkin seeds and toss to coat evenly. Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

CARAMELIZED PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Lightly coat baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large skillet, slowly melt the caramel sauce and sugar. When melted stir in cinnamon extract and cayenne. Continue cooking until mixture reaches a temperature of 310 degrees F. Stir in pumpkin seeds until completely coated. Spread caramelized seeds onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with crushed almonds. Separate seeds with wooden spoon until cooled.
• Cook's Notes:
• Melted sugar is very hot. Please use extreme caution when handling and pouring. Pumpkin seeds may be purchased already roasted. If using the seeds from a jack-o-lantern, rinse and clean seeds. Place on a baking sheet, lightly coated with cooking spray, in a preheated 250 degree F oven. Roast seeds for about 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. The actual seed of the pumpkin is inside the hull. The hull is edible.
