Preheat the oven to 180ºc / 355ºf (fan).
Halve, peel and de-seed the pumpkin. Chop one half of the pumpkin into small cubes. Use a box grater to grate the other half. Set aside
Place a large saucepan over medium/low heat and add the onion. Fry for a minute then add the garlic. Fry until the onion is softened but do not let the garlic brown.
