Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Cut a lid from the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and strands. Season inside, replace the lid and roast for 50 mins-1 hr. Scoop out the flesh to use in another dish (see tip).
  2. Combine the cheese with the cornflour, stirring well. Stir in the soured cream, beer and onion and pour into the pumpkin. Roast for a further 20-30 mins, until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the garlic and sage, and fry until the sage is crispy and the garlic is golden.
  4. To serve, arrange the pumpkin on a platter surrounded by chunks of crusty bread. Drizzle the garlic and sage butter over the fondue and season with black pepper. Use forks or skewers to dip.

Top tip: Don't bin the pumpkin flesh – add it to fried onion and stock and blend for a tasty soup.
