This morning, with another deep frost in the air and young pumpkins transitioning colors on the ground, I was drawn to highlighting an unsung culinary hero. Pumpkin seeds have an earthy richness that lures me to utilize and highlight them. Today, we made a puree of pumpkin seeds with lime, jalapeno (of course), and candied ginger. We balanced the earthiness of the puree with goat cheese gnocchi and caraway lacquered banana. We added a final note of fruity umami with a tomato-pineapple chip. The dish is simple and straightforward, inspired by the elements around us.
