Roasted Pumpkin with Radicchio and Blue Cheese
Bitter, but healthy: Lactucopicrin lends Radicchio its tart taste and stimulates the formation of gastric and bile juices. The substance thus supports the digestion of carbohydrates, protein and fat.
If the taste of blue cheese is too strong, you can simply replace it with the same amount of feta. Outside the pumpkin season, the Hokkaido can be well replaced by sweet potatoes, carrots or a mixture of both.
