This delicious soup is traditionally served in autuum and a southern Styrian (Province of Austria) speciality. Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon and garnish with drops of pumpkinseed oil, this really makes a difference! I only use half (100ml) of the usual amount of cream (200ml) as I find that the soup turns out to be sufficiently creamy. If you’d like to go with half of the cream, yet still desire more “texture”, cube a medium sized potatoe and add to soup along with the pumpkin.
This delicious damper is best made on the day you plan to eat it. Don’t use butternut or kent pumpkin, as they have a high water content. Best part about this delicious damper, is that it comes in at just AU$1.75 a serve! From the January 2009 issue of “recipes +” magazine.
Damper is a traditional Australian “bush” bread which was cooked in the hot coals of campfires.It’s ok to use an oven these days but this one is done on a grill. This is a nice twist on an old Aussie favourite.
You can prepare the mascarpone & mashed pumpkin up to 6 hours ahead, cover & store in fridge until picking up where you left off. From Australian Good Taste magazine.
Damper is an Australian Bread. A very quick & simple side to make using mashed pumpkin. A beautiful golden colour when cooked, best served warm straight from the oven but will keep for a few days wrapped in plastic or an airtight container.
