Method …
  1. Steam pumpkin until just tender, remove from heat and drain. Mash until smooth, add cumin and butter and stir through. Spread pumpkin mixture evenly into base of dip dish.
  2. Add olive oil to a small fry pan with crushed garlic and cook, stirring for approximately 1 minute. Add chopped onion and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Add cumin, chili, kidney beans and ⅓ cup water and cook over a gentle heat for approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mash coarsely using a fork. Spread the bean mixture loosely over the pumpkin to create the second layer.
  3. In a small bowl, mash the avocados, add the lemon juice and stir well to combine. Spread the avocado over the bean mixture to create the third layer.
  4. To create the fourth layer, combine the tomato, capsicum and cucumber in a bowl and then sprinkle evenly over the avocado layer. The cucumber is optional and other vegetables like celery could be added in this layer as well.
  5. Combine the mild cheese and parmesan cheese and then sprinkle over the tomato layer.
  6. Spread some sour cream over the top of the cheese layer. How much you use will depend on the size of your dip bowl as well as how thick you want the sour cream.
  7. Sprinkle chopped shallots and freshly chopped coriander leaves over the top of the sour cream to finish the dip. Serve with corn chips or crispy crackers.
