The pumpkin meatballs are delicious bites with a gooey center, baked or fried, and served with a tasty mustard and honey sauce. Pumpkin is the queen of autumn, and as every year, I enjoy inventing recipes with this vegetable, creating both sweet and savory dishes. This time I made soft meatballs with pumpkin and a brie center, and served them with a delightful sauce made with mustard, honey, turmeric, and chives. It was a great success!

- 1 oz Brie
- to taste Salt
- to taste Breadcrumbs

Preparation
To make the pumpkin meatballs with mustard and honey sauce, clean and cut the pumpkin into pieces, removing the seeds and skin. Place the pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and add the rosemary.
Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F for about 30 minutes. When the pumpkin is softened, remove it from the oven and mash it with a fork.
Then place the pumpkin puree in a bowl and add the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Knead until you get a homogeneous mixture and adjust the salt.
Cut the brie into cubes. Take some of the mixture with your hands and place a piece of brie in the center. Close each meatball by hand, forming a ball and compacting the edges, making sure the cheese stays inside.
On a small plate, pour the breadcrumbs and add the curry, mixing with a spoon. Roll the meatballs in the breadcrumbs.
Fry the meatballs in plenty of hot oil until they are golden brown. Drain and place them on absorbent paper. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 390°F for 15 minutes, until golden.
In a small bowl, pour the mustard and honey. Add the turmeric and chopped chives, mix everything with a spoon.
Serve the meatballs with the sauce and enjoy your meal!
