6 exciting pumpkin recipes: entrails baked right into the skin

Perhaps the most beautiful method of serving pumpkin is to bake it completely in the oven. A vegetable pot with juicy insides looks great and is eaten with appetite. Choose small fruits to make cooking comfortable. You will find options for internals and the most useful tips below.

How to fill a pumpkin: interior options

Inside the thick pumpkin skin, various foods are stewed like in a pot. Such dishes turn out to be very rich due to the pulp, which remains on the walls of the fruit and releases juice.

What do you usually fill pumpkin pots with? The most popular dish is porridge: millet, rice, corn. It tastes delicious with vegetables: potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, onions and carrots. They are combined with some of the extracted pulp and baked into a juicy stew.

The inside may be the most satisfying: mushroom and meat. Chicken, pork, beef in pieces, and also minced meat are placed in the pumpkin. Favorite ingredients include eggs, hard and soft cheese, and greens.

How long to bake pumpkin in the oven

How long does it take to bake a whole pumpkin? The time depends on the size of the fetus and its insides. On average, production takes from 30-40 minutes to an hour. If the products are put into the skins already ready or semi-ready, the baking time sometimes takes more than an hour. You'll have to wait longer than others for porridge and entrails with raw meat.

With apple and rice

Crumbly rice porridge with sweet fruits, baked directly in a pumpkin, comes out very soft and rich. It looks like it was cooked in an oven.

Will come in handy:

  • 0.5 cups rice;
  • medium sized pumpkin;
  • 3 apples;
  • 0.5 cups of golden raisins;
  • 100 g butter;
  • salt, sugar, cinnamon, cloves - to taste.

How to cook:

  1. Wash the rice in advance, soak it a little if you have time. Pour in salted water and bring to a boil. Boil the cereal for 5 minutes, drain in a colander and hold under water to remove the flour and starch.
  2. Wash the pumpkin, cut off the top and remove the pulp and seeds. You should get a tight pot.
  3. Cut the apples into slices, remove the seeds and skin if it is very hard.
  4. Soak the raisins in warm water (15 minutes), wash and dry.
  5. Cut the pumpkin pulp into small cubes no larger than apples.
  6. Combine rice, apples, pumpkin, raisins, add all the spices and soft butter.
  7. Fill the pumpkin pot and cover with a lid. If the inside is not juicy enough, add a little boiled water.
  8. Bake at 180 degrees for 50 minutes.
  9. The finished pumpkin should wrinkle a little - this is normal. You can check the readiness of the insides only by taking a sample. Take steamed rice - it cooks faster, and be sure to bring the cereal to half-cooked before baking.

In order for the fruit to keep its shape well, the thickness of its walls after removing the pulp should not be less than 2.5 cm.

With meat and potatoes

Pumpkin stuffed with minced meat and potatoes is one of the most satisfying dishes. Thanks to its unique shape, it can be prepared as a hot dish for a holiday. The secret to the popularity of this casserole is that pumpkin speeds up the digestion of heavy meat foods and absorbs meat broth, becoming very tender and appetizing.
