[1] Stuffed and baked! - The pumpkin makes a fabulous vegetarian centerpiece at a holiday meal. Reader Jaime showed us her stuffed baked pumpkin, and it looks delicious. Here also is a recipe from Dorie Greenspan. [i love ANYTHING stuffed & baked. seriously good stuff.]
[2] In a stir-fry - This chicken and pumpkin stir-fry looks easy, autumnish, and very good. [pairing chicken & pumpkin sounds delicious.]
[3] In a creamy soup - Pumpkin lends itself so well to warm, creamy soups. Try this pumpkin tortilla soup or this pumpkin soup with bacon. [the tortilla soup looks/sounds amazing]
[4] In baked goods - OK, this is really how we want to eat pumpkin right now! But you can skip the storebought puree and make your own from pumpkins left over after Halloween. Here is how to make pumpkin puree. After that you can turn it into pumpkin pie, pumpkin crumb cakes, iced vegan cookies or pumpkin olive oil bread. [YUM!]
[5] Don't forget about the seeds! - Pumpkin seeds make a great snack. To get the maximum flavor, first simmer them in salt water so the salt permeates the seed. Then roast them with spices for a toasty fall snack. [one of my favorite things to do as a kid!]
What's your favorite way to eat pumpkin?! Oh...I am obsessed w/ pumpkin BREAD too...yummmm.
