A couple of days ago I used the beautiful autumn weather to go into the woods with Marten to collect some mushrooms. We had a wonderful hike, but unfortunately didn’t find any edible mushrooms. So I didn’t have spätzle with chanterelle for dinner and I had to find another idea.

I still had some pumpkin from my garden left over (it seems as if it grows back, as soon as I cut off a piece and used it) and some romaine lettuce, a couple of mushrooms and smoked tofu. Any of them is a beautiful ingredient that could merge to a delicious bowl, so I was thinking. And this is what they did. It was actually a perfect combination.

Since a bowl is made with several different components it always seems, as if you have to work in the kitchen for hours to make this dish. But I can assure you, that it is easy and doesn’t take much time to make. Pumpkin and smoked tofu, for example, share a baking tray and bake in the oven almost by themselves. While the spelt is cooking you can sautée the mushrooms.

As a dressing I picked up the spices from the oven pumpkin and combined it with yoghurt. When every component is ready you arrange them in a bowl, add the dressing and then start eating!
Enjoy!

Love,

Rina

Tipps/Notes

I still don't have a clue what kind of pumpkin I got from my garden, by the way. If I had to buy a pumpkin for this dish, I would prefer a Hokkaido or Butternut Squash.
