  • Milk: As needed (for purple potato mash)

  • Salt, pepper: A pinch (for seasoning)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash the baby pumpkin and steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes until cooked through. Meanwhile, wash and peel the purple potato, cut it into small pieces, and steam it until cooked. Soak and cook the quinoa in advance. Peel and mash the avocado.

  3. Make Purple Potato Mash: Add an appropriate amount of milk to the cooked purple potato and mash it into a smooth puree.

  4. Assemble Pumpkin Tart: Layer the cooked quinoa at the bottom of the pumpkin, pressing it down firmly. Next, spread a layer of purple potato mash, followed by a layer of avocado mash. If desired, crack an egg on top and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
