Spicy Pumpkin Wrap

For me one of the challenges I find deciding what to choose from the many lovely food stalls in St Nicholas’ Market is not only which stall to buy lunch from, but once that choice is made, what do I choose from the menu.

The choice of stalls is not vast, but the variety is certainly there, you won’t finding anyone selling toasted panini or boring sandwiches. There are still a few stalls I’ve not yet tried, it does appear I like to go back to where I have been before.

I have really enjoyed the many dishes I have had from Caribbean Wrap in the market. The Jerk Chicken is delicious and I love the accompaniments that come with it, the spinach is scrummy.

So out for lunch the other day, I decided after perusing all the different places (as one does) to try something new and different and so I went for the Spicy Pumpkin Wrap.

Spicy Pumpkin Wrap

This huge beast of a wrap was stuffed with beautiful cooked spiced pumpkin chunks, spicy chick peas and fresh avocado and served with a swirl of hot sauce. The combination of flavours and textures was delightful. Oh it was vegan too.

Munchkin Pumpkin

Small, yet perfectly formed.

The Munchkin Pumpkin is as you would expect from the name, a miniature pumpkin.

Today I cut the one I had bought into wedges and roasted in the oven for about thirty minutes with a splash of olive oil and some honey.

The end result, looked quite nice, but there wasn’t much flavour. The parsnips and sweet potato I had done alongside were much nicer and with a really nice natural sweet flavour (no honey on them).
