Bring pumpkin to your dinner table with this moreish pumpkin and mince gratin that can easily be doubled to feed a crowd. There are plenty of herbs and coarsely chopped spinach in the mince mixture. The pumpkin in this dish keeps the meat really tender and juicy. Serve this as a standalone meal or with a side salad, pasta or bread.

- To make the pumpkin puree, cook the pumpkin in a steaming basket over a saucepan of simmering water for 15 minutes or until tender.
- Place the hot pumpkin in a bowl with the butter and roughly mash with a fork. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Place the spinach leaves into a pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Remove leaves from boiling water and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain and squeeze any remaining water out with your hands. Chop roughly.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Lightly grease a casserole dish.
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Finely chop all the herbs together.
- In a large bowl, add the onion, garlic, herbs, spinach, beef mince and mustards, season everything well with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Place in the prepared casserole dish. Bake the mince mixture in the middle of hot oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the mince from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 220C/430F.
- Spread the pumpkin puree on top and grate the Parmesan over. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.

Es una receta parecida a mi pastel de carne, yo lo preparo con patatas, pero después de ver el tuyo, pienso que con calabaza también estará muy rico. Apunto.
Great to see this recipe!
Who does not like a warm gratin from the oven in these cold, snowy, rainy, messy, Autumn days? One can easily replace that mince with lentils or soy or even grated smoked tofu.
As always, this a beautiful dish. A layered lasagna of healthy and flavorful ingredients.
...golden goodness.
Hubby would eat that since it has meat -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Looks delicious! Take care, enjoy your day and have a great weekend.
This looks delicious especially on a chilly night. :) Have a great start to your weekend Angie.
This gratin looks delicious. Perfect for the cold weather.
Bardzo smacznie i zdrowo.
Mince meat is not available in any markets. What can be used in it's place? Thank you.
Grind or chop your own!
This pumpkin and mince gratin sounds like the perfect comforting dish for autumn or winter evenings! The combination of pumpkin, mince, and spinach is not only flavorful but also offers a wonderful balance of textures. I love that the pumpkin keeps the meat tender and juicy, while the freshly grated nutmeg adds warmth to the dish. The Dijon mustard will give it a slight kick, and the Parmigiano-Reggiano on top will create a golden, crispy finish. It’s versatile enough to serve on its own or with a side, making it ideal for family meals or dinner parties. A delicious and hearty recipe!
