Seeded Pumpkin and Feta Muffins

I initially highlighted this recipe in 2010, and revisited it final week. So good! You all know by now, I really like self-published cookbooks. Notably ones with a powerful standpoint, considerate design, and impressed recipes. In that spirit, I’ve a gem to share with you this afternoon. It’s a light-hearted little cookbook titled Martha Goes Inexperienced, created by a media-savvy trio of associates in Melbourne, Australia. The e-book features a recipe for these sunflower seed and spinach-flecked pumpkin feta muffins. Savory muffin followers, you already know who you’re, these do not disappoint.
Once I spent a month touring round New Zealand just a few years again, it turned clear that New Zealand is the land of the A+ muffin. Scones too, however muffins specifically. There have been numerous savory variations to select from, however my favorites at all times had winter squash in them. If this e-book is any indication, I believe Australia is perhaps comparable. Anyhow, these muffins are precisely the form of factor I crave and bear in mind from that journey. I really like the kick of black pepper right here, and the mix of cheese. It is not fairly pumpkin season right here, so I substituted butternut squash. However actually, nearly any winter squash will do.

So far as the specs of the e-book go, Martha Goes Inexperienced is a set of about fifty vegetarian recipes. It’s simply shy of 100 pages, spiral-bound and printed on recycled paper utilizing vegetable based mostly inks. Almost all the recipes have been photographed, and the e-book is punctuated with lovable illustrations by Jessica Honey. The recipes have an accessible, achievable vibe to them and I’ve the vegetarian pho, satay curry, stir fried noodles, and lentil mushroom moussaka earmarked to attempt subsequent. The e-book would not appear to be accessible anymore (it has been over a decade), however you possibly can nonetheless examine in on a few of the recipes right here and right here on Rosie’s web site. 

Different issues to find out about these muffins from individuals who have baked them over time:

Michele says, “I froze a bunch, so needed to allow you to all know they freeze effectively. And, whereas that is in all probability apparent, they must be saved within the fridge. I forgot they weren’t “common muffins” and simply left them in a container on the counter and the cheese went unhealthy.” Julia famous, “I solely had recent dill as an alternative of the parsley and asiago instead of the parmesan. Was nonetheless actually tasty.” There are a bunch of different ingredient swap strategies within the feedback together with individuals reporting again on gluten-free and vegan variations!
