Need a recipe for stuffed pumpkin/squash for Xmas dinner

[PruniStuffing]

ideally including chestnuts. Any ideas from you veggies out there?

We have a veggie coming on Xmas eve - a true, non-PITA veggie who doesn't eat any meat or fish.

hows about this?

1 large pumpkin
2 tbsp soy sauce
7 fluid oz water
1/2 lb fresh shelled chestnuts (or a couple of tins)
2oz raisins
2oz apricots,
1 chopped Bramley apple
4oz walnuts, broken but not too small
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 small can sweetcorn, drained
1 medium sweet green pepper, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
1 medium courgette, chopped
2 medium fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced (optional)
16oz cooked brown basmati rice
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Wash pumpkin and cut off the top, scoop out strings and seeds. Mix sugar and 2 tbs of the soy sauce and spread evenly over insides of pumpkin. Line the bottom of a large baking tray with single piece of foil folded over itself 3 or 4 times, pour the water in pan, place top back on pumpkin and place in
   baking tray, cover the pumpkin and the tray with foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until pumpkin is just starting to become tender. Remove from the oven, and scrape the remaining flesh from the pumpkin shell. Reserve this to add to the stuffing.

2. Steam the nuts for about 15 minutes. Rinse them in cool water and slip off the brown skins. Chop chestnuts coarsely. (Or just open the tins)

3. Combine chestnuts with pumpkin, raisins, apricots, apple, walnuts, celery, onion, sweetcorn, peppers, tumeric and rice, mix well. Add the remaining 4 tbssoy sauce and mix again.

4. Dust the inside of the pumpkin with the cinnamon. Pack the pumpkin with the filling and replace the pumpkin top. Return baking tray to oven, add water to cover the bottom of the tray and bake for 45 minutes.

5. Wrap the foil from the bottom of the baking up around the bottom of the pumpkin as you pick it up to serve it, this will keep the bottom intact - the bottom may be very soft.
