Instructions (60 min approx.)

1. Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until you have a homogeneous and fine mixture. If it's too thick, add one or two tablespoons of water and blend again. Taste for salt.

2. Place the mixture in a bowl. It's advisable to use the pumpkin itself (after removing the pulp with a ball scoop) to decorate. Add a couple of fresh sage leaves, toasted sesame, pumpkin seeds, and drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.

3. Crudités: Wash and separate the red and white endives into leaves. Clean, peel, and cut carrots into sticks. Prepare white celery stalks in the same way.
