I made these tacos as part of a Sunday lunch for some wonderful women. We followed them with the eggplant curry from earlier in the week and then brown butter tahini chocolate chip cookie cups (from I will not eat Oysters my favourite blog for cookie recipes!) topped with vanilla ice cream. It was a feast and exactly what Sunday lunch with your friends should be.
These would be perfectly satisfying as a meal on their own though! It makes 8 tacos so you can decide how many that serves in your house…
The pumpkin is spiced and crispy, the radish has crunch and the goats cheese adds sharp saltiness. It’s a flavour party and the perfect taco for these winter vibes.
I used these incredible green tomatoes from Adelaide but any tomato will work,- green tomato would be amazing as they have a tart flavour.

400g pumpkin, skin removed, diced in 1-2cm chunks
