I did a roast lamb recently, that took me about two hours to cook, there is a space in the oven just enough to bake a large piece of pumpkin.
To Bake The Pumpkin
Baking the whole pumpkin or a large piece of pumpkin. Wrap unpeeled pumpkin in baking paper then wraps it again with some foil. Place it on a baking tray, bake for 1 hour or more depending on the size of the pumpkin
Today I served it for lunch, cold roasted pumpkin with spinach, rocket and Feta salad. It was so delicious, the sweetness of the pumpkin was neutralised by the saltiness of the Feta cheese, a perfect and delightful balance of flavour.

Baked pumpkin can be used for the base of other dishes. I use it for baking scones, cakes, souffle also for soups or homemade pasta.

That was a pumpkin that I had from the last harvest. I have done a lot of cooking from the crop even though we had only a few.
More pumpkins for this year? I am not sure. In fact, the vegetable patch is not fixed yet, I don't think they will be fresh vegetables from the backyard, I may have to go to the market.
Until Next Post

Did you not season the pumpkin so you could use it for a variety of purposes? X
