Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yes, cut it in large pieces and seed it. Yurn it upside down with a little water in a large sauce pan with some karo sugar and cinnamon and let it boil until it's soft when you pierce it with a fork. It will scoop out easily and taste delicious. RR/LA Small Pet Rescue <bunnyresq wrote:Anyone know any good pumpkin recipes? Vegan please! Someone gave me a home-grown pumpkin, and I need to cook it!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hey Melissa:) You've just inspired me to cook the last of my fresh pumpkins this morning and make pumpkin bread (vegan-style)!!! I bake mine - cut them in half, place in a pan of water and bake at 375 degrees until the flesh is soft. Then cool and scoop out the pulp for use in any recipe. I'm going to look through all of my vegan cookbooks for a recipe, but barring that, just use any pumpkin bread recipe and substitute egg replacer for the eggs, nut or soy milk for the milk, and " legal " sweeteners, flours, etc. It's easy to modify recipes:) Debra , RR/LA Small Pet Rescue <bunnyresq> wrote: > Anyone know any good pumpkin recipes?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi Melissa - We do much like Debra and make pancakes and breads, also cookies - my recipes are all veggie not vegan, but subsitutions should be pretty simple? I also make a pumpkin soup - saute some onion (to your taste) just till it is clear and soft, cube the pumpkin flesh, peel and chop two potatoes - simmer all veggies in 4 - 6 cups of water or veggie broth till they are tender (about 20 - 30 minutes). I season with thyme and salt and white pepper - (nutmeg might be nice in place of thyme?) - then I puree everything. You can thin the soup with milk or sour cream...or swirl some sour cream (tofutti) in the bowl to make it look snazzy! My hubby loves pumpkin raviolis - but I've never made them. I have a friend who does. You could experiment! Make sure you toast those seeds - they are a favorite at our house - and make a nice garnish if you choose, on the soup. If you don't know how & /or want a neat sweet/spicey coating for toasted seeds let me know. Yum...pumpkin...hmm, I'm getting dinner ideas!! the other, melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
