    Cut the pumpkin into quarters, peel and remove the core. Peel the onions. Dice pumpkin flesh, onions and bacon. Pluck thyme leaves from the stems.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Drain the bacon in it. Add pumpkin, onions and thyme and fry for about 5 minutes while stirring. Remove approx. 4 tablespoons of pumpkin cubes from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato pieces and tomato paste to the pumpkin. Season with salt and pepper, bring to the boil briefly and braise for a few minutes. Put the vegetables aside.

    For the béchamel, melt the fat in a pot. Add the flour and sweat while stirring. Gradually add milk and cream and mix well. Bring the sauce to the boil and let it swell at low heat for about 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
