This colorful, hearty meze is made by roasting pumpkin until caramelized and mixing it with Turkish white cheese. Serve it chilled or warm with crackers as part of a spread for guests.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Roast the pumpkin

35 min

Toss the cubed pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 200°C / 390°F oven for 35 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.

2

Mash the pumpkin

10 min

Mash the roasted pumpkin with a fork or blend until smooth.

3

Mix with the cheese

10 min

Add the crumbled Turkish white cheese and thyme and stir. Transfer to a serving dish.

Reminder

Do not crowd the pumpkin cubes on the baking sheet, or they will steam instead of caramelizing. Allergen: contains milk and dairy.
