Preparation

Step 1

Peel the squash. Cut the thick end in half at the centre and remove the seeds. Put the two halves together again and place on a baking tray. Make incisions into the flesh at 2-3 mm intervals, but don’t cut all the way through.

Step 2

Peel and crush the garlic, combine with oil, Kikkoman Ponzu, syrup and ginger and season with pepper. Brush half of the marinade onto the squash, taking care to ensure that it runs into the incisions. Bake the squash in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan: 160 °C) for approx. 40-45 minutes, brushing occasionally with the remaining marinade.

Step 3

Place the pumpkin on a serving platter and drizzle the juices from the baking tray over it. Cut the cress out of the punnet, use as a garnish and serve.
