Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions. Stir to coat them with oil, then cover and cook them over a low heat for 5-10 minutes until they start to soften, stirring occasionally.

- Season to taste, garnish with coriander and black pepper, and serve, accompanied by a crusty bread roll, if you like.
Recipe Notes
If fresh pumpkin is unavailable, use 15 oz (425 g) canned, unsweetened pumpkin, usually found on supermarkets’ canned fruit shelves.
