Pumpkin

Butternut Pumpkin.

One small butternut pumpkin was celebrated well in my kitchen. The whole pumpkin baked over one hour and the result was cooked beautifully and soft all over, merely delicious, nutty and nutritious.

How to bake a whole pumpkin, first, wash and dry the pumpkin, place on a baking paper, rub it with oil and wrap it with double baking papers,  place on a baking dish and bake for over one hour until soft. Serve hot with any greens and protein.  Also, it is excellent to add to the ingredients for cakes, brioches and scones.

The whole Pumpkin rubbed with Oil.

The baked whole butternut pumpkin went a long way, a part of it was for baking pumpkin and date cake, also to garnish Javanese curry and the rest of it could be for making fresh pasta.

Baked Pumpkin and Date Cake

The cake was moist and delicious, but it was slightly brittle.  It could be over mix.

You could bake other cakes or loaf with any baked pumpkin.
