1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7

Rub a large ovenproof frying pan with a little bit of oil (an ovenproof one saves on washing up). Put the onions, cut-side down, into the pan and fry over a high heat for a good 5 minutes, without moving them, until coloured

In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pan of onions. Now you can move the onions. Give the pan a good shake so the onions come free and the pumpkin is mixed in
