Cooking whole pumpkin in the oven
And now we've come to recipes that use pumpkin not only as an ingredient, but also as a pot in which to cook the food. It's very beautiful and convenient. It is clear that in this case you cannot do it alone; you need a filling.
And this role can be played by completely different ingredients: sweet dried fruits, tender cottage cheese or juicy meat.
I offer you some interesting ideas on how to stuff this sunny vegetable.
Pumpkin stuffed with rice and apples
This cooking method can add variety to your porridge diet. Essentially this is rice porridge with pumpkin in a very original design.
Ingredients:
- Whole pumpkin - 2.5 kg
- Apples - 2 pcs.
- Rice (semi-cooked) - 1.5 cups
- Raisins – 100 g
- Honey - 2 tablespoons
- Butter - 50 g
- Salt - a pinch
- Vegetable oil
Preparation:
1. Preparing the pumpkin will take the most time. You need to make a pot out of it and this is done in 2 stages.
First you need to cut off the top (about a quarter of the height), then use a knife to cut through the middle.
Use a spoon to scrape out the center, removing all the seeds.
2. At the second stage, again cut out a circle with a knife, stepping back a couple of centimeters from the peel.
And again we arm ourselves with a spoon and scrape out the pulp.
We don’t throw away the pulp; it will go into the filling.
3. Combine and mix finely diced apples, pumpkin pulp, raisins and half-cooked rice.
To boil rice until half cooked, you need to rinse it, pour it into a saucepan, add water so that it is 1 cm higher than the rice and cook over medium heat until the liquid on the surface of the rice is no longer visible. The remaining water is drained.
To prepare 1.5 cups of semi-cooked rice, you will need half a cup of dry rice.
Then add a pinch of salt, honey and mix everything thoroughly.
4. Stuff the pumpkin with the finished filling, put butter on top and cover the pumpkin with the previously cut quarter and tail.
5. Knead a piece of butter in your hands, coat the outside of the pumpkin with butter, put it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 1.5-2 hours until ready.
6. Readiness is checked with a knife. If the “skin” is easily pierced, then the dish is ready.

Preparation:
1. Turn the pumpkin into a pot, removing the seeds and part of the pulp so that the wall thickness is 1.5-2 cm.
2. Cut the meat and vegetables into small cubes.
3. Fry meat and vegetables in different pans. Place the meat in one frying pan with vegetable oil and fry over medium heat until half cooked, stirring occasionally.
At the same time, fry the onion in vegetable oil in another frying pan, wait until it becomes translucent, add the carrots and fry for another 5-7 minutes until they soften, and then add the sweet peppers, tomatoes and garlic.
There is no need to chop the garlic; add whole cloves for flavor.
4. After 10-12 minutes of frying, combine the meat and vegetables in one frying pan, add a couple of pinches of salt, a pinch of pepper and a bay leaf, stir, fry for another 5 minutes so that the ingredients are saturated with each other’s aromas and the filling is ready.
5. Grease the pumpkin pot with vegetable oil, place it on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and fill it with filling.
6. Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 1.5 hours.
