Recipe:
Cut the pumpkin in half. Empty it of its seeds. Cut the first half into slices about 3 cm thick, then cut in half again. Cut the rest into brunoise.
In a hot frying pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and brown the slices on each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Book
Sauté the brunoise in olive oil for a few minutes to color it, then add a star anise flower and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
Scoop out the pumpkin seeds, run them under water and then pan-fry with a pinch of fleur de sel until toasted.
Finishing and straightening
Place the pieces of pumpkin on a plate and sprinkle with the brunoise. Place the thin slices of Calabrian bacon on top and toast them with a blowtorch (if you don’t have one, toast them first in a hot frying pan).
Add a burrata to the plate and a few seeds on top. Season with a drizzle of olive oil, a twist of pepper and Calabrian chilli pepper.
To taste.
