My Wife's Stuffed Pumkin

This is based on a recipe idea we got from a freeby Tesco food mag. I don't quite remember the details, but it was nothing like this - this my wife's version...


You take an edible pumpkin, cut the lid off and scrape out the seeds. Make sure that you leave enough of the fruit flesh. It is full of flavor and that's what you should be going for. Either put in some olive oil, if you want to be good, 1cal spray with a little salt and pepper. Then bake th open pumpkin for half an hour at 180C (fan assisted). You then stuff it.

For the stuffing my wife boils up bulgar wheat with stock and garlic (powder) and about half an onion, seasoning with salt and pepper. This then gets mixed with some chestnuts from yesterday's post (just we happen to have them), mozzarella cheese, mushrooms and a bit more chopped onion. She also through in some fresh thyme, just to have some herbs. Really the filling is up to you, but this was delicious.

It then gets topped with more mozzarella and some pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.

We had this simply with some pork shoulder stakes, but the choice is your...

Let me know what you think
