Bung 'in Pumpkin

Morlan75 · Bung 'in Pumpkin

WE LOVE this time of year here's what I normally do when I can get my hands on a big Pumpkin.

No recipe to this really just make a meat sauce of you choice and Bung'in the Pumpkin, I have used "Beanfeast" and vegtables before for vegitarian guests and it's worked just fine! But for this one I used Minced beef.

This was a rather large Pumpkin so I roast it for about 2 1/2 hrs in the oven on about 180.

Take the top offa the Pumpkin and scrape out all the seeds leaveing just the fleshy cavity.

Heres what I made my meat sauce with

Pour your sauce into the Pumpkin, replace "lid" on top and pierce a few times with a skewer (so steam when cooking can escape)

Wrap in tin foil place in hot oven for a few hours to roast.

That looks yummy we usually fill one with seasonal root veg with herbs and spices bake it in the oven then blend the results to make a pumkin soup.

I am definately going to try your version but with rabbit mince instead.

Is that the same recipe and technique as for giant puffballs?

Only thing I've ever done with pumpkins is light candles in 'em, might have to have a rethink :)

Hi Morlan,

That looks delicious !! Thanks for putting up the great photos and recipe - I always thought that pumpkins were wasted the day after Halloween - we'll give it a go .

Cheers Strider

Went into Tescons the otherday and for a seriously small one not even worth bothering with there £1:00

Hi Morlan

That looks spot on,a big improvement on the Balut egg lol.

Ive never tried pumpkin so not sure of the taste but the wife has started using sweet potatoes in her stews/hash and it gives them a great flavour.
