There is some debate as to whether pumpkin is safe for the FODMAP diet – it contains mannitol – amount varies on where it is grown, the one I used was grown within 10 miles of home. If you have problems with pumpkin, or are on a FODMAP exclusion you could replace the pumpkin with more carrot and this should work just as well.

This is a terrific recipe.. great seasonings. I wish I like pumpkin… I wonder if sweet potato might works as well?
Sweet potato would work just as well I think, thanks for your comment!
