Pumpkin Pie

   Pumpkin (1/2 a small butternut pumpkin)

   One small onion
   Clove of garlic
   Feta  (I used maybe half a cup of cubed low fat feta)
   3-4 eggs
   2 tbsp of chopped garlic chives (or your herb of choice)
   1 heaped tsp of sumac (or another spice that goes nicely with pumpkin
   like cumin)
   Salt & pepper for seasoning
   Sesame seeds to sprinkle on the top
   Filo pastry

• Steam pumpkin until soft and then mash. Cool slightly add the rest of the ingredients.
• Line pie dish with enough layers of filo to evenly cover the base, folding it back into the centre so it forms a base. Unlike the spinach pie I didn’t fold it over the top.
• Put mixture to top of pastry and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake at 180 degrees for about 30-40 mins or until firm to the touch.
• Freezes well.
