Recipe By :Vegetarian Times Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Magnificent Entrees Menu 6

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 5-6 pound pumpkin -- or other winter squash

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 small onion -- diced

1 red bell pepper -- seeded & diced

1 small jalapeno pepper -- seeded & minced

1 small zucchini -- diced (about 1 1/2 cups)

2 tablespoons minced shallots

1 1/2 cups brown rice

1/4 cup raisins

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups water

8 medium broccoli florets -- blanched

2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro -- (optional)

 

To cook pumpkin, preheat oven to 375ºF. With a sharp knife, cut a 4-inch lid

off top of pumpkin. (Cut at an angle so lid goes back on more easily.) With a

large spoon, scoop out seeds and stringy fibers; discard or reserve for another

use. Cover hole with a sheet of foil and set pumpkin lid back on top. Place in

a baking pan with 1/2-inch of water, bake until inside is tender, 50 minutes to

1 hour. Remove from oven and keep warm.

 

To make the pilaf, heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, peppers, zucchini,

and shallots. Saute until vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in

rice, raisins, pepper, turmeric, and salt; cook 1 minute more. Add water,

cover, and cook over medium-low heat until liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes.

Fluff pilaf with a fork and stir in broccoli. Stir in cilantro if desired.

Spoon pilaf into pumpkin and cover with lid. (Discard foil.)

 

Set stuffed pumpkin on a large platter in center of table. When serving pilaf,

scrape inside of pumpkin with serving spoon and mix pumpkin into pilaf.
