Pumpkin sesame seed hamburger bun

Pumpkin Everythang!

 

It’s another October and time again for pumpkins.  This month get more challenging as the years go by. So I have to get very creative with what I come up with. A few months ago I made a delicious sweet potato onion hamburger bun. I decided to try my luck with the same recipe with a few more modifications and some fresh pumpkin.

Jamaican Chicken Pumpkin Soup

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Pumpkin is such a widely used vegetable here in Jamaica; I’ve had pumpkin dumplings, fritters, rice, curry pumpkin, in steamed fish and foil roasted fish. You name it and pumpkin has been there. Now when it comes to soup, there is no way one can make any soup here, without the addition of pumpkin. It’s almost unheard of, an unwritten Jamaican rule. So much so that to make the task of having a pumpkin soup quicker a number of companies most notably Grace, makes a pumpkin soup sachet. The other day I saw a pumpkin and beef and a pumpkin and chicken flavor too; I chuckled.
