Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 1 medium to large butternut pumpkin
  • 100 g mild creamy goat cheese
  • 2 handful of wild arugula
  • 1 large red peppers, grilled and skinned over the charcoal
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 7-10 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp Freshly ground salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Wrap the whole butternut pumpkin in aluminium foil (shiny side inwards) and grill it on the charcoal for about an hour. Then remove from the grill and cut in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    With the help of a spoon, remove the seeds, fibres and some pulp. This should create a hollow space in the shape of the butternut.

  3. 3

    First, the cavity is lined with rocket salad so that it can cling to the hot pumpkin. Then place the goat's cheese, garlic and red pepper strips on top and drizzle with olive oil to taste

  4. 4

    Tip: Also try spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese as a filling.
