Method1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.2. Cut a lid out of the pumpkin and remove seeds, put the pumpkin whole into a pan of boiling water for 20 minutes, or until the flesh is tender but not soft. 3. In the meantime, gently pan fry onion and leeks, cook slowly so that the vegetables become soft and sweet. 4. Place the fish on the bed of veg, put the lid on the pan and gently steam the fish for 5-10 minutes, add the prawns and gently fold in the creme fraiche, add freshly ground black pepper. 5. Now put the contents of the pan into the pumpkin, and put on the "lid", then bake in the oven for a further 15 minutes. 6. To serve bring the pumpkin to the table and serve directly from the pumpkin with rice... Mmmmmm | |||||||||||||||||||||
