Here’s one way to pimp up that pumpkin. Roasted, tasty, and mouth-watering juicy. Roasting the pumpkin will give it sweetness and concentrate the flavours but throwing in some Castello Greek Style cheese gives this dish an awesome sweet and salty balance. Pumpkin has a real ability to absorb flavours, so the sweet salty spicy flavours work like magic here. There are many varieties of pumpkin out there but look out for smaller varieties that usually have a sweeter more intense flavour, such a Butternut Pumpkin!

185 g Castello® Marinated Greek Style Cheese in Oil with Garlic and Herbs 265g
1 medium butternut pumpkin
½ pomegranate
1 green chilli
1 bunch fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
olive oil
1 lemon, zest finely grated

preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

3. Whilst the pumpkin is cooking, prepare the other ingredients removing the seeds from the pomegranate; slice the chilli into thin slices, pick the mint leaves, zest the lemon and mix everything together in a small bowl and set aside.

4. When the pumpkin is tender, place on a large serving tray. Add the Castello® Greek Style Cheese Cubes with Garlic and Herbs and the remaining prepared ingredients. Finally sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds. Serve immediately.
