Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan).  Spray gratin dishes lightly with olive oil spray.
  2. Combine half the oil, onions, rosemary and sage in a large non-stick frying pan and cook over a moderate heat until the onions start to caramalise, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.  Season with pepper and spread into the prepared dish.
  3. Toss the pumpkin in the flour and discard the excess.  Add the remaining oil to the frying pan.  Add the pumpkin and cook until brown, about 7 minutes, tossing frequently.  Add the parsley, season with plenty of pepper and cook a further 1 minute.
  4. Add the pumpkin mix to the onions, scatter with grated cheese and pour over the milk.
  5. Bake until the top is brown and the liquid absorbed, about a further 20-25 minutes.
