This dish makes a very flavourful alternative to potatoes as a side dish and is well worth trying.

Ingredients:

1.8kg pumpkin flesh, cubed
50g butter
80g freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Bring a pan of lightly-salted water to a boil then add the pumpkin and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender, but still retains a firm consistency. Drain in a colander and allow to sit over the sink for at least 5 minutes.

Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over fairly high heat and use to fry the pumpkin until golden brown then stir-in the cheese and rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper and serve immediately.
