Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease an 8-12 hole muffin tray. • Place peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.

2

• While the pumpkin is roasting, thinly slice brown onion. Finely chop mild chorizo (see ingredients) and garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo and onion, stirring, until golden, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Set aside to cool.

3

• In a large bowl, add basic sponge mix, Aussie spice blend, the egg, the milk and Greek-style yoghurt. Mix until just combined.

4

• Add roast pumpkin, cooked chorizo and onion to the bowl and gently mix to combine.

TIP: Don't worry if the pumpkin starts to break-up!

5

• Divide batter evenly between muffin tray holes, filling each to the top (you should get 8-12 muffins). Top with fetta and sprinkle with pepitas. • Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. • Set aside to cool slightly in the tin.

6

• Transfer chorizo and pumpkin muffins to a serving platter. Enjoy!
