Autumn is in the country. The moment when you can finally wear warm sweaters again and crawl undisturbed under a blanket in front of the television. Cozy everywhere! When it's raining and windy outside, cooking enthusiasts will certainly get the itch to get started in their kitchen! Because the content of our plate changes with the seasons. And let's face it: autumn has a lot to offer. Just think of seasonal products such as Jerusalem artichoke, parsnip and pumpkin.
When the leaves fall from the trees, we immediately feel like tasty autumn dishes, because cozy evenings call for comfort food.
Today we share a recipe for a delicious, autumnal pumpkin pie. This is how we help you to get hold of the autumn jitters yourself!
Pumpkin: the autumn topper
Who says autumn, says pumpkin! Pumpkin is a homegrown superfood.
In the fall, our immune system could use a boost. This vegetable is therefore full of iron and vitamin C, making it good for the immune system. And that's not all: this vegetable is also packed with fiber and is very low in calories.
In addition, a pumpkin mainly consists of water and is rich in potassium, which is good for high blood pressure.
You can also make different things with this vegetable. Cooking with pumpkin doesn't have to be difficult. Just think of quiche, soup, casseroles and of course today's recipe: a savory pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin should not be missing from autumn recipes because this taste is sweet and earthy, making it perfect for autumn.
We already got some inspiration and one of our favorite recipes has to be that of food blogger Brenda van Brendakookt.nl : a savory pumpkin pie with spinach and feta.
