To make breadcrumbs, pulse 4 thick slices of white bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs are formed. Try replacing nutmeg with Moroccan seasoning, for a change.

Ingredients

1 tblsp olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1⁄2 tsp ground nutmeg

300ml tub thickened cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

Pumpkin

CHEESY CRUMBS

2 cups coarse fresh breadcrumbs

1⁄2 cup grated Tasty cheese

Method

Peel the pumpkin. Cut into 3cm-thick wedges. Place in a 10-cup capacity oven-proof dish (23cm x 33cm x 4cm deep).

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Scatter over the pumpkin. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Pour over cream. Season. Cover tightly with foil.

Cook in a hot oven (200C °C) for about 50 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.

Meanwhile, make cheesy crumbs by combining all ingredients in a bowl.

Remove dish from oven. Discard foil. Sprinkle cheesy crumbs over the pumpkin mixture. Return to oven. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve.
