When you’re down at the shop buying a pumpkin to carve a face into, pick up an extra one for this recipe.
The combination of the creamy, smooth zesty feta with the roast pumpkin 🎃 is absolutely amazing. Once I made this it lasted about 30 seconds before it got demolished.
Ingredients
1 small or 1/2 a medium pumpkin, peeled and diced.
Pumpkin seeds.
1 small tsp of mixed spice.
200g block of feta.
70ml full-fat milk.
1 tbsp of runny honey.
Juice from half lemon.
2 garlic cloves.
1 red chilli, chopped.
Method
Take the pumpkin and scrape out the seeds. Then peel and cut into bite-size pieces. Pop the pumpkin and seeds into a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil, season, add the mixed spice and give it a good mix. Place into a preheated oven set at 180° for 20 minutes or till tender and golden.
While the pumpkin is in the oven pop the feta, milk, honey, lemon and garlic into a food blender and whizz till smooth then check for seasoning.
Once the pumpkin is ready pour the feta into a bowl and top it with the roasted pumpkin and seeds. Scatter over the chillies add a drizzle of honey, olive oil and some fresh thyme leaves then serve.
