step 1

Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute the onion for 6-7 minutes, until well softened and golden brown. Add the ginger, garlic, pumpkin, parsley, thyme, spring onion, salt and broth.

step 2

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 15-25 minutes, stirring every 5-8 minutes, until pumpkin is well cooked. The last time you stir, leave the lid open until most of the liquid has evaporated.

step 3

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Remove the pumpkin from the heat and mash it into a very thick puree. Transfer to a 20 x 30 cm baking tray and sprinkle with grated cheese on top.

Bake until the cheese is golden brown and garnish with extra parsley for serving.
