Tonight's dinner was fish plus lots of goodies from my garden. This recipe is gluten and dairy free. For the step-by-step on how to make all three dishes simultaneously (with lots of photos) which is how it really needs to be done, check out the post on my garden blog. Below are the individual recipes.

Pumpkin & Roast Garlic Mash
Ingredients:
Fresh pumpkin, peeled and cut into even sized chunks
1 Garlic bulb, broken into cloves and peeled
Olive oil
Salt
Nutmeg
Method:
Preheat oven. Place the chunks of pumpkin in a lidded casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt (I used Himalayan mineral salt) and add 1/2 cup water to steam the pumpkin. Cover with lid and bake at 180C until tender. Meanwhile, toss the peeled garlic in a little olive oil to coat. Spread in a small oven proof dish. Bake until golden brown and tender, shaking to stir every few minutes to avoid burning. When pumpkin is cooked, drain liquid off, add roasted garlic and a sprinkle of nutmeg and mash.

Ruby Chard & Bacon
Ingredients:
Silverbeet or Rainbow Chard of any colour - I used Ruby Chard this time
1 slice bacon
Coconut oil
Salt
Method:
Wash silverbeet/chard. Cut off stems and put aside to be used in soup another day. Slice leaves down centre in direction of stem, the cut across-wise into sections about 1.5cm wide. Place in bowl and set aside. Heat a little coconut oil in a large pot. Cook bacon until done, then remove to a plate and chop up. Add silverbeet/chard to pot, add chopped bacon and sprinkle with salt. Toss together a little, then cover and let steam until tender.
