Pumpkin Pie:
750g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
• 150g broccoli, cut into florets
• 60g butter, melted
• 8 sheets filo pastry
• 100g pancetta, torn into large pieces
• 100g feta, broken into large pieces
• 8 eggs, lightly whisked
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 125g haloumi, cut into 2cm pieces
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 15g baby rocket leaves
• 1/2 cup small fresh continental parsley leaves
• 1 shallot, trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally
• Step 1
Preheat oven to 180ºC. Place pumpkin in a steamer basket over a saucepan of boiling water. Cover. Steam for 15 minutes or until just tender. Transfer to a plate. Add the broccoli to the steamer basket. Steam for 5 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp.
• Step 2
Meanwhile, lightly grease a 26cm (top measurement) ovenproof frying pan with a little of the melted butter. Place the filo on a clean work surface. Cover with a dry tea towel, then a damp tea towel (this prevents it from drying out). Brush 1 filo sheet with a little of the melted butter. Fold in half, crossways. Place in the pan, allowing it to overhang slightly. Repeat with remaining filo and melted butter, turning and overlapping each sheet slightly to line the pan completely.
• Step 3
Arrange the pumpkin, broccoli, pancetta and feta evenly over the filo. Pour over the egg. Fold the pastry over the filling to slightly enclose. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until set and golden.
• Step 4
Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the haloumi and cook, turning occasionally, for 2 minutes or until golden. Add the lemon juice and toss to coat.
• Step 5
Combine haloumi, rocket, parsley and shallot in a bowl. Top the frittata with a little haloumi salad. Serve with the remaining salad.
