Method

Pre heat the oven to 190 degrees C. Cut the pumpkin into 4 quarters lengthways and place onto a lined oven tray. Drizzle the pumpkin with 40mls of the oil and season with sea salt. Roast the pumpkin for 35-40 minutes, or until it is tender and cooked through.
Meanwhile drain the cashews and place them into the jug of a high-speed blender. Pour in 1/3 cup of fresh water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt. Blitz for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat then add in the cumin seeds, pepita seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until the seeds are toasted and crisp. Turn off the heat then pour in the remaining oil, ground sumac and a pinch of sea salt.
Place the pumpkin onto a serving platter and drizzle with a little of the cashew cream. Scatter over the seed mixture, pomegranate seeds and coriander sprigs. Sprinkle with a little extra ground sumac before serving.
