Ingredients

Pumpkin

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.

  4. Finely chop parsley. In a second bowl, combine yoghurt and parsley with a pinch of salt. Season to taste with pepper.
  5. Cut broccoli into small florets and cook in a pot of boiling salted water for about 2 minutes. Add green beans and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until greens are tender. Drain, return to pot and season to taste with salt and pepper.
