To steam the pumpkin, Peel and seed it, then cut it into evenly sized cubes. Put the cubes in a steamer or colander, cover with a lid or baking foil, and set over a pan of simmering water. Cook for 10 minutes. If not cooked through, test with a knife and cook for 5 minutes more. Mash and leave to cool.

Put the pumpkin in a food processor with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and blend until you get smooth puree.
