Pumpkin polenta and pumpkin cubes

  • In the meantime, wash the pumpkin, remove the fibers from quarters and remove the seeds. Dice half of the pumpkin and roughly dice the other half. Cook the coarse cubes in boiling salted water for approx. 20 minutes until they are soft. Wash the thyme, pat dry and pluck the leaves off. Peel garlic and chop finely. Bring the milk, vegetable stock, thyme and garlic to the boil in a saucepan. Stir in polenta meal and allow to swell according to the instructions on the package.
  • Heat the remaining oil and fry the small pumpkin cubes in it until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Drain the cooked pumpkin and drain well, then puree. Stir the pumpkin puree, butter and Parmesan into the polenta. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the pumpkin polenta with the pumpkin cubes and the involtini.
