Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups kabocha squash diced
  • 1 cup water for steaming
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Steam the kabocha squash with the water for 20 minutes, or until tender. Set aside and let it cool slightly before blending.
  • Add the kabocha squash to a blender along with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse the blender to get the squash chopped up and then hold down the power until a nice smooth puree forms.
