Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces and diced bacon in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender and golden, 15-20 minutes. • Thinly slice leek. Pick and roughly chop herbs.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook leek and herbs, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add herb & mushroom seasoning, the plain flour and butter (for the sauce) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
• Lightly crush roasted pumpkin with a fork, then pour leek sauce over pumpkin. Crumble over cheese. • In a small heatproof bowl, add butter (for the pastry). Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry and place on top of pumpkin mixture to completely cover. Brush melted butter over to coat. Bake pie until pastry is golden, 15-20 minutes. • Meanwhile, thinly slice radish. In a medium bowl, combine mixed leaves, radish and a drizzle of red wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide bacon, crumbly cheese and pumpkin pie between plates. • Serve with radish and mixed leaf salad.
