Baked pumpkin with garlic

 

An excellent hot appetizer or side dish will turn out from a pumpkin baked with garlic in the oven.

Ingredients:

500 g of peeled pumpkin; 3-4 cloves of garlic; 2 tbsp. l. olive oil; coarse salt; black pepper to taste; a pinch of dried rosemary

Cut pumpkin pulp into large cubes. Lay out on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Add coarsely chopped garlic, salt, pepper, oil, and rosemary (sage and chili powder are also good). By the way, garlic can be replaced with dried granulated. Stir. Bake for half an hour at a temperature of 190 degrees.

Pumpkin Cream Soup

 

For the soup you will need:

1 kg of peeled pumpkin pulp; bulb; 2 medium potatoes; carrot; 4 cloves of garlic; 4 cups vegetable or meat broth; half a glass of cream; 2 bouillon cubes (chicken); salt, pepper to taste (if needed).

To serve - crispy fried bacon, herbs, pumpkin seeds.

Clean and wash vegetables. Cut the pumpkin into large cubes, chop the potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic. Place all ingredients in a saucepan, except cream. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are soft. Then remove the pan from the heat, beat with a blender and bring to a boil again, pouring in the cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with croutons, herbs, pumpkin seeds.

Salad with pumpkin

 

Prepare an unusual salad with grilled pumpkin, spicy cheese and pine nuts.

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

a couple of handfuls of fresh spinach; 200 g of peeled pumpkin; 50 g hard cheese (parmesan); a couple of spoons of pine seeds; a couple of tablespoons of olive oil; salt, ground black pepper to taste.

Cut the pumpkin without seeds and peel into slices. Salt and pepper to taste, drizzle with oil and fry in a hot grill pan until soft and golden on both sides.

Cut the cheese into thin slices using a vegetable peeler.

Arrange the spinach, fried pumpkin slices, cheese slices, and nuts on a flat dish. Drizzle with oil and serve!

Pumpkin stuffed with chicken

 

For this dish you will need boiled or baked chicken, or you can take grilled or smoked chicken - the taste will be even richer. Cooking stuffed pumpkin along with baking will take just a little over an hour.

You will need:

small spaghetti pumpkin; chicken fillet ready (boiled); 200 g of hard cheese; 70 ml of sour cream and tomato sauce; half sweet pepper; a blue onion or a bunch of green onions; salt, black pepper to taste; a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Cut the pumpkin in half, scrape out soft fibers with seeds with a spoon, brush inside and out with vegetable oil. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Then let it cool down a bit.

Divide the boiled chicken into fibers, grate the cheese, peel and finely chop the onion, chop the pepper into cubes.

 

Separate the fibers from the pumpkin with a fork, being careful not to damage the peel.

Combine all prepared ingredients in a bowl (set aside a little grated cheese), tomato sauce, sour cream, salt, pepper and pumpkin pulp. Stuff the pumpkin with stuffing. Sprinkle the reserved grated cheese on top.

bake the pumpkin for 20 minutes at a temperature of 200-220 degrees. Serve topped with sour cream and sprinkled with chopped herbs. Enjoy!

Marinated pumpkin for the winter

 

In just half an hour, you can cook a wonderful pumpkin preparation with cinnamon, cloves, cardamom. Such a fragrant sour snack is ideally combined with ready-made poultry and other meats. Chili can be added to the jar if desired.

Immediately anticipate the questions on the amount of vinegar. Yes, 150 ml; the marinade will turn out spicy, acetic, for an amateur.

Ingredients (for 2 jars of 350 ml):

500 g of peeled pumpkin; 500 ml of water; 150 ml of vinegar 6 or 9 percent; 100 g of sugar; 6 cloves; 4 boxes of cardamom; cinnamon stick.

Peeled and seeded pumpkin cut into cubes. Pumpkin can be soft or crunchy. To make the pickled pumpkin soft, marinate it in water with vinegar and leave it for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. If you like dense pieces with a crunch, you do not need to pickle the pumpkin.

Transfer the pumpkin with water and vinegar to a saucepan, add sugar, cloves, cardamom and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook on a slow boil for 20-30 minutes.

Transfer the boiled pumpkin to sterilized jars, pour marinade through a sieve. For a stronger flavor, add a clove bud to each jar. Immediately roll up with clean lids and turn until completely cool on the lids, wrapped in a blanket.

Chocolate pumpkin pie

 

Fragrant and juicy pumpkin-chocolate pie is the perfect fall dessert. To prepare it, you will need pumpkin puree, which we recommend preparing ahead of time and storing in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

150 g pumpkin puree; 200 g flour; 3 eggs; 200 g of sugar; 1 st. l. orange peel; 1 tsp baking powder; 50 ml of vegetable oil; 2 tbsp. l. cocoa powder; 1 tsp ground dried ginger; 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and nutmeg.

How to make pumpkin puree? Cut the washed pumpkin into slices of 3 cm thick. Cut out the soft part with the seeds, leave the peel. Place the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees. Then separate the baked pulp from the peel into a blender and beat. Ready! Store puree in clean jars in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

We will prepare two types of dough - orange and brown.

For the orange dough, sift 100g flour with 1/2 teaspoon baking powder into a bowl. Beat one egg with 80 g of sugar with a mixer until light foam, pour in 25 ml of vegetable oil, continuing to work with a mixer. Enter pumpkin puree and 100 g of flour, stir well.

Now let's prepare the chocolate brown dough. In a bowl, sift 100 g of flour with half a spoonful of baking powder. Add ginger, cocoa, nutmeg and cinnamon, stir. Beat with a mixer 2 eggs and 120 g of sugar until foamy, gradually add 25 ml of vegetable oil. Then add flour to the liquid mass, stir.

Pour the chocolate dough into a parchment-lined form, orange on top. If you want, you can make a couple of divorces with a spoon or a wooden stick so that the dough mixes in some places.

Bake for 1 hour at 180 degrees. Cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy!
