BAKED PUMPKIN WITH GOAT CHEESE COCOA BEANS AND HONEY

BAKED PUMPKIN WITH GOAT CHEESE, COCOA BEANS AND HONEY: a delicious and unconventional recipe for your Halloween night!

October is the pumpkin’s month, so I could only close it with a pumpkin recipe that, moreover, is my favorite autumn food.
The simplier way to enjoy it and to appreciate all the delight of this vegetable: BAKED PUMPKIN, roasted, natural.

I love baked pumpkin: it’s a perfect side dish for my equally beloved cheeses and, among these, in my view, it gives its best with goat milk ones.

So today I show you a very easy recipe that played with the combination of orange and black colors and with the sweet/bitter combo too in a perfect balance.

Pumpkin, sweet for its nature, combines with the rich sapidity of goat cheese (tomini in my case) whose taste reveals the surprise of the pleasure of honey and of roasted cocoa beans with a strong and almost slightly smoky taste.

Enjoy it!

And… Happy Halloween!

BAKED PUMPKIN WITH GOAT CHEESE, COCOA BEANS AND HONEY

Here’s how to have a special dinner with very few ingredients: the sweetness of the pumpkin goes perfectly with the strong taste of the goat’s cheese, which is contrasted on the one hand by the bitter-sweetness of chestnut honey and on the other by the toasted-almost smoky flavor of cocoa beans. Very simple, easy, fast and delicious!
