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
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.
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.
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
