Pumpkin Crumble
This was a risky experiment for me, as I had never had, or cooked a crumble before. I made it for a lunch amongst friends, and fortunately the experiment was successful. The crumble is crunchy and tasty, has a particular flavor because of corn flour and almonds, and goes very well with pumpkin.
Ingredients:
1 piece of pumpkin, already cooked
1 / 4 of cauliflower
1 / 4 of Savoy cabbage
2 cloves of garlic
1 white onion
1 handful of black olives
1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
chilli
salt
pepper
Ingredients for the crumble:
120 gr of wholewheat flour
100 gr of superfine corn flour
20 toasted almonds
1 / 2 cup of vegetable oil
warm water
rosemary
salt
pepper
Method:
In a pan, fry the garlic in a little olive oil. Add the onion, cauliflower florets and chopped Savoy cabbage, olives, a pinch of chili pepper and sautée over a high heat. After a few minutes, add salt, reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes (Savoy should get tender). Towards the end of cooking, add the diced pumpkin and poppy seeds. Mix it well and remove from heat. Now, prepare the crumble: chop the almonds in a mixer. Place them in a bowl, add the two flours, salt, chopped rosemary (and if you like, other spices, like curry, chili, cumin …). add oil and mix well. Now, add water, a little at a time, and at the same time mix it with your hands. What you get is a crumbling dough. Oil a mould, pour the pumpkin mixture in and level it well. Pour the crumble over, and compact it well with your hands, to evenly coat the surface. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 180°C. The “crust” of the crumble reminded me the “sbrisolona”, the cake made of almonds, and I loved the contrast between the crispy upper part and lower, tender and delicate.

This is great!!! Every year, when I see the pumpkins I think I’d do a crumble, but I never made it, don’t even know why… this is excellent, now I’ve got to try it, absolutely 🙂
