To Serve

Steps

  1. Cook pumpkin Preheat oven to 230oC. Cut pumpkin wedges in half. Toss on a lined oven tray with first measure of pork meatball spice and a drizzle of oil. Season and bake for 15 minutes to start with.
  2. Prep veggies Cut courgette in half lengthways, then slice 1cm. Dice capsicum 2cm.
