I just found it growing in my garden and decided to pick one, but how the heck do you cook it, can you roast it like pumpkin,

I'm a bit boring but I loved it just boiled. Yum.

Others here though might know a different way.

Cut in thin slices and fry lightly in butter until soft my fav, add to boil up near the end (traditional), add to any casserole stew etc near the end. or boil or steam til tender drain and melt a bitof butter over. Still some debate in this house weather you leave the seeds in or not but I leave them in and people make up thier own mind weather to eat them or not. Taste like a firmer creamier textured corgette really and highly recommended.

Depends if its a big one or the best which the small ones. If they are big and old it's up to you whether you want to remove the seeds otherwise we eat the seeds on the small ones. Cook like babytears says. I mash mine in fresh butter most times.

sorry, but I would have to agree with pickles - horrible stuff! ! My friend gave me some last year and told me to boil it and said it was beautiful ... I boiled it, mashed it with butter, served it and gave all the uneaten mash to the pigs! YUK! ! ! ! !

edited to add that all the uneaten mash that went to the pigs, was the entire lot I'd cooked - everyone hated it!

I love to cook young kumikumi by cutting into chunks and steaming until very soft. A surprisingly delicious way of serving is to cut some nice feta cheese (Bouton D'or is good) into slightly smaller chunks and lightly mix with the steamed kumikumi and freshly ground pepper, no salt necessary due to the saltiness of the cheese. A bowl of this makes a wonderful lunch.
**do not peel the kumikumi but do use a very young fruit.

I used to get free kamo kamo from people at work, but after I gave them a recipe for kamo kamo fritters I don't get them any more :)

Here is what you do:
Grate kamo kamo through the grater coarsly.
Add an egg, some flour, season with salt.
Make thick batter.
Fry on medium heat both sides.
Serve with sour cream or other topping.

As an option chopped onions or other additives added to batter.
Enjoy!

I'd like to try stuffing and roasting a biggish kamo kamo but aren't sure what to stuff it with. To make it alittle more complicated it needs to be gluten free. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I stuff with spinach, pine nuts and feta cheese, mixed with the chopped up flesh. I add cooked mince for my husband, I don't eat meat.
