2 bunches broccolini, trimmed

SAUCE

1⁄4 cup soy sauce

1⁄4 cup mirin

2 tblsps olive oil

Method

Place pumpkin in a shallow, microwave- proof dish with 2 tblsps water. Cover with damp absorbent kitchen paper. Microwave on High (100 per cent) for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Season. Coarsely mash.
