Tacky Stuffed Pumpkins
2-4 small pumpkins
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups spinach
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup gruyere cheese, grated
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp recent chopped Rosemary
- Preheat oven to 400 levels. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Minimize the tops off of pumpkins. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Brush the within of the pumpkins with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place pumpkins the wrong way up on baking sheet. Bake for 20-40 minutes relying on the scale, or till pumpkins are fork tender.
- In the meantime, soften butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium excessive warmth. Add onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes or till it’s starting to brown. Add garlic and prepare dinner for one more 1-2 minutes. Cut back warmth to low, add spinach, and prepare dinner till wilted. Season effectively with salt and pepper.
- Take away from warmth and stir in cooked rice, gruyere, parmesan, and rosemary, reserving 1/2 cup of gruyere for the topping. Stuff pumpkins with filling, then high with further cheese. Prepare dinner for 10-Quarter-hour, till the cheese is melted. (Broil to get the cheese further bubbly if desired.)
P.S. Don’t waste your pumpkin seeds! Clear them, dry them, and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Roast at 350 for about Quarter-hour, add some parmesan, then bake for five extra minutes. I allow them to dry within the fridge in a single day and roasted them a pair days later.
