2 tiny dried birds eye chillies (crushed)
1/4 tsp salt
75 ml white wine vinegar
75 ml water
2 TBS Sultanas
1/4 cup tiny mint leaves
- Chop pumpkin in wedges, cut out seeds and chop off skin
- Heat oil, add pumpkin pieces once it is hot
- Fry pumpkin, add pine nuts, add garlic, and chilli, sprinkle pumpkin
