Parmesan baskets with pumpkin cream

Here’s a quick and delicious recipe ideal as an appetizer for the winter season.

75 g of Parmesan cheese, 5 g of flour, 150 g of pumpkin, 25 ml of vegetable broth, 1 shallot, salt and pepper to taste, EVO oil to taste.

Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds, then dice it. Brown the finely chopped shallot in extra virgin olive oil. Add the diced pumpkin. Cook for a few minutes, add just enough broth to cover and let it stew for 20 minutes on medium heat. Stir from time to time. When the mix is cooked, blend until you have a smooth and dense compost. Add a little salt and pepper. In the meantime, make some squares with the oven paper and roll out the Parmesan cheese mixed with the flour. Create an 8-10 cm circle and melt in the oven at 180°. Place the Parmesan over a rounded mould to give it a shape and let it cool.
