PUMPKIN What can I do with it?

[extremelychocolateymilkroll]

Have 2 pumpkins from my veg box and no idea what to do with them. Any suggestions gratefully received.

SOUP!!!

Pumpkin soup is delicious!

have a look on the Good Food website for recipes.

Thanks nickel. Was thinking I might also be able to use them as a base for a veggie meal?

this is what is do with pumpkins

Thanks WouldYou. Made your suggestion today and it was lovely.

i like it roasted. makes a good base for curries as well.

I bought Leith's Vegetarian cook book so I could cook more interesting recipes with the veg I get in my vegbox. They do a nice carribean pumpkin curry, as well as Thai red curry. And squash lasagne.

Riverford have a good squash gnocchi recipe online, if you get bored of soups and curries. There's always pumpkin muffins!

Thanks moo and digital. I don't know why but I never think of looking on the Riverford website - although I religiously cut out the recipes they send each week and then leave them to clutter up the kitchen as I forget to use them. I made this pumpkin soup yesterday but only had 500g of pumpkin left so use potatoes and carrots as well. It was lovely but then I think anything with cream probably would be. Will try making it without cream again.

We've started making a HFW idea of stirring the chopped pumpkin in a frying pan in a mix of butter and oil for 15 mins till cooked then chucking in a large handful of chopped sage, thyme and garlic and cooking for a few more mins, season and serve.

Delicious.

Thanks melted. What does HFW stand for?

Pumpkin is lovely in risotto.

Delicious in thai curry too....

so glad you liked it!

Just twigged - is it Hugh Fearnley Whitting....

soup! if they are mini you can take the tops off scoop out the seeds, roast them then put a cheese fondue inside...

I made this the other week. Very nice.

dev mex soup

I didn't add the sweet chilli in the end as it would have been too hot for the boys. My DS said it was delicious !

I can never peel pumpkin so cut it into wedges , roast it them peel it.

pumpkin pie, fritters, pumpkin rissoto (very yummy)

The Riverford pumpkin muffin recipe is delicious.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I've gone from thinking what shall I do with 2 pumpkins to no pumpkins and wondering if I can use the red Kabacha squash in this week's box for any of these recipes. No idea what a red Kabacha squash is like.
