Grilled Pumpkins, Leeks, and Sage

Ingredients

  • 500g pumpkin flesh, peeled

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper

  • 1 red onion, sliced

  • 5 fresh sage leaves, shredded

  • 4 leeks, sliced across finely

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • Slivers of vegetarian Parmesan-style cheese, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the grill or a griddle pan. Slice the pumpkin finely, then put into a bowl and toss with half the olive oil. Season well, then grill for a few mins on each side.

  2. While the pumpkin is grilling, heat the rest of the oil in a large pan. Cook the onion with the sage leaves for 5 mins over a medium heat. Season, then add the leeks and cook for a further 5 mins, stirring well. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and remove from the heat.

  3. Arrange the pumpkin slices in a large serving dish and top with the onion and leeks. You can also add some Parmesan slivers, if you like
