8. 8 Transfer from the heat and stir through the parsley.
9. 9 To serve, in a small dry frying pan, lightly toast the pumpkin seeds with a pinch of salt, for 4 – 5 mins on a low heat. Alternatively roast in a 170C/170C fan/gas 3 for 10 mins. Dot the dish with the crème fraîche and sprinkle with the toasted pumpkin seeds.
