many years ago when I lived in the Pacific we had a bring and share luncheon at my house. A local women bought a pumpkin, she had cut the top off ,taken out the seeds and filled it with wonderfull fillings which she then baked. The finished result was truly delicious and I would like to produce this dish and show off to my friends my wannabe culinary skills. So please help me and suggest fillings to place in my pumpkin Thank you.

Fill it with your favourite thickened cheesy mince recipe. You keep the pumpkin lid to put back on to cook

pumpkin pie is yum ive never had anyone say no to it . there are plenty of reciptys on here
Cook the pumpkin in the microwave (seeds out and top sliced off but put back on for cooking) - about 35-45 minutes.
Put the cooked chilli in the pumpkin and if you are wanting to impress, when at your destination, a dollop of sour cream on the top. or, you can cut the pumpkin in half and do two halves!
I get asked to take it at almost any pot luck dinner.
The other favoured options, are a mix of spinach and different cheeses, sun dried tomatoes, a little onion etc.
Third, is cooked onion, frozen sweet corn plus a can of creamed sweet corn with sour cream (again - I use it a lot). You can add cheese if you wish or even a small can of coconut cream. Cook it up before adding to the pumpkin.

Cut the top off the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds (keep them to grow if you really like the pumpkin flavour once cooked), top back on and bake 1/2 hour at 180C till starting to soften. Lid off, then layer inside, until almost to the top, some cooked veges sliced - potatoes, kumara, leeks, onion, etc. Make a mix of eggs and milk, seasoned to taste. Pour over the veges, sprinkle grated cheese on top. Lid on and bake until the pumpkin is tender and the quiche inside is set. Cut into wedges to serve. You can add cooked chicken or ham to the layered veges.
