Drain 6 stems of asparagus
Boil pumpkin chunks until tender but firm enough to place on a place
Place the red pepper in a mound in the middle of both plates/bowls
Arrange the other ingredients from middle to outer edge in a clock-like arrangement on both plates/bowls, spreading the ingredients out so there are no gaps at the edges of the bowl
