And I present to you, the first typo I found in my book, but also a seriously delicious recipe

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon fine salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed kaffir lime leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 750 g (1 lb 10 oz) kent pumpkin (squash), cut into 3 cm (11⁄4 inch) wedges (skin on), seeds removed
• 1 red onion, cut into 6 wedges
• 2 cups (370 g) warm steamed white rice
• Skewers (optional for presentation)

For the Satay

• 2/3 cup (215 g) crunchy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon white miso paste
• 1 teaspoon tamarind paste
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2/3 cup (170 ml) hot water
• 1 teaspoon chilli oil (optional)

Optional Ingredients

• Coriander
• Thai basil

For the garnish

• 2 tablespoons toasted salted peanuts, crushed
• 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
• 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 240°C (475°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the curry powder, garlic powder, salt, crushed kaffir lime leaves, and olive oil. Toss the pumpkin wedges in this mixture until evenly coated.
3. If using skewers, thread about 4 pieces of pumpkin onto each skewer, alternating with slices of onion in between.
4. Place the skewers or pumpkin wedges on the prepared baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly charred.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the satay sauce. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, white miso paste, tamarind paste, honey, garlic powder, soy sauce, and hot water until well combined. Add chilli oil if desired. Store any excess satay sauce in the fridge for up to a week.
6. Once the skewers or pumpkin wedges are done, arrange them on a bed of steamed rice. Drizzle some of the satay sauce over them, reserving some for serving. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top, add lime wedges, and a dash of chilli flakes, if desired.
7. Serve immediately, with extra satay and herbs
