This Roasted Herb Butternut Pumpkin recipe tastes divine and accompanies most meat selections.
We served slow roasted lamb, beetroot salad and garlic foccacia with our roasted herb butternut pumpkin and our guests loved it!

1 tbs finely chopped oregano
1 tbs wholegrain mustard
1 cup grated tasty cheese
2 tbs grated parmesan

2. Score the surface of pumpkin using a sharp knive about 1cm apart. Brush with a little of the olive oil and season. Place in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour or until nearly tender.
3. While the pumpkin is cooking, heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan and cook red onion and garlic for 6 minutes or until soft. Cool.
