Autumn and winter offer delicious seasonal vegetables, such as pumpkin, mushrooms, (stewing) pears, Swiss chard, purslane and various types of cabbage and turnips. Each and every one would be a perfect ingredient for fantastic dishes from the Big Green Egg, such as this recipe for roasted pumpkin with walnut and Gruyere cheese. Delicious and vegetarian!
INGREDIENTS
For the pumpkin

- olive oil
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- 100 g walnuts
