Alternative:Pumpkin Substitute

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

Ingredients

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

Procedure

1. Puree the vegetable mix until smooth
2. Add the yogurt.

Use in place of pumpkin.

Note

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