Pumpkin Substitute

Pumpkins are unavailable most of the time in some countries. An excellent substitute for all uses is made from the following:

Ingredients

  • 1 kg (about 2 lbs) mixed carrot and swede
  • 500 g (about 1 lb) plain yogurt

Method

  1. Purée the vegetable mix until smooth.
  2. Add the yogurt.
  3. Use in place of pumpkin purée.

Notes

  • Frozen carrot and swede mix makes this a very easy substitution.
  • Purée thoroughly to obtain a smooth mixture.
  • The ingredients can be added whole to foods that will be puréed later.
  • Other winter squashes may also be used as substitutes for pumpkin
