Hokkaido with hearty mushroom-feta-tomato stuffing

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 2 hokkaido pumpkins
  • 300g button mushrooms
  • 200g bell peppers
  • 100g gouda, shredded
  • 100g feta
  • 50g tomato paste
  • 1 can crème fraîche
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tomatoes
  • parsley
  • pepper, salt, chili, nutmeg

  1. Sear button mushrooms and bell peppers
  2. Add onion and garlic
  3. Add crème fraîche and tomato paste
  4. Reduce heat and add feta and gouda
  5. While the cheese is melting: Clean the pumpkin and give it a nice lobotomy, remove the seeds with a spoon
  6. Add the stuffing and sprinkle some gouda on top
  7. 30 to 40 mins at 190°C in the oven, depending on pumpkin size

Best part: The entire pumpkin - apart from the stalk - is edible and tastes delicious.

For leftover stuffing: Add some water the next day and you got yourself some pasta sauce.
