Throw Out the Seeds? That's Crazy Talk

Posted byVirtual FarmgirlPosted inUncategorized

More today from the Virtual Farmgirl Test Kitchen: Garlic roasted pumpkin seeds.

The iFarmer claims these are the best pumpkin seeds he’s ever had. I’m not sure about that. But I do think I finally got a good Kosher salt, garlic and butter ratio. Plus, these are crispy.

I’ve learned if I don’t dry them overnight, my choices for texture are chewy or burnt.

I also have a pesto update. I created a pretty tasty chicken salad that we had for lunch today with leftover pumpkin soup. I used pesto, chopped white meat, a bit of mayo, roasted red bell pepper and red onion.

Let me know if you want me to email you the recipe for VFG’s Presto Pesto Chicken Salad. **Growing and harvesting instructions not included.
