Ingredients

Pumpkin

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 pack pumpkin wedges

Meatballs

  • 1 pack chorizo mince
  • 1 pack onion and garlic paste
  • 1 pack meatball spice

Corn

  • 1½ cups frozen corn
  • 1 pack cherry tomatoes
  • ½ pack baby spinach

To Serve

  • ½ pack Spanish aioli
  • ½ pack shaved Parmesan cheese

Steps

  1. Cook pumpkin Cut onion into 1cm wedges and toss on a lined oven tray with pumpkin, a drizzle of oil and season. Roast on middle oven rack for about 20 minutes, until tender. Switch oven to high grill and grill for 3-5 minutes, until golden. Keep an eye on the pumpkin as it can colour quickly.
  2. Prep and cook meatballs In a medium bowl, combine chorizo mince, onion and garlic paste and meatball spice. Use a tablespoon measure to shape mixture into balls. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook meatballs for 8-9 minutes, turning regularly, until golden and cooked through.
  3. Cook corn Return same pan to high heat with a small drizzle of oil. Cook corn for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and add to pan. Cook for about 1 minute, until warmed through. Toss through spinach and season
  4. Serve pumpkin topped with meatballs, corn, Spanish aioli and Parmesan cheese.
