Instructions
Wash the pumpkin thoroughly, remove the seeds and cut it into wedges.
Spread the pumpkin wedges out on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and tuck the thyme sprigs in alongside.
Cut the top off the head of garlic, place it on the baking tray and drizzle it generously with oil too.
Roast the pumpkin wedges and garlic in a preheated oven at 220°C, conventional oven (top and bottom heat), for about 25 minutes.
Feta dip
Put the feta and a couple of tablespoons of the Greek yoghurt in a mini chopper and blitz until the feta is finely crumbled.
Add the rest of the yoghurt, the lemon juice and the roasted garlic cloves, squeezed out of their skins - ideally let them cool slightly first.
Blend the feta cream until smooth and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Serving
Spread the feta dip over a plate in a thick layer and arrange the pumpkin wedges on top. Sprinkle with the pine nuts, parsley and fresh thyme, and finish with a little olive oil and freshly ground pepper if you like.
