Pumpkin And Tomato Bake Recipes

Steps:

• On the same griddle used for toasting the pumpkinseeds (or in the remnants of a charcoal fire), roast the tomatoes, turning as necessary, until they blacken on all sides and sizzle. Blacken the chili and the garlic at the same time (they will take less time than the tomatoes). Cool and peel the tomatoes and garlic.
• Put the tomatoes, salt, garlic and about 1/4 of the habanero in a food processor and purée; add 1/2 cup of the pumpkinseed powder and taste. Add more habanero and salt to taste, and more pumpkinseed powder as necessary to thicken, up to a cup or so.
• Serve with tortilla chips. (Or anything else.)

Steps:

• Remove any seeds from the pumpkin and cut into 3/4 inch strips.
• Cook in boiling salted water for 2 or 3 minutes.
• Drain and dry thoroughly on paper towel.
• Dice strips into about 1/2 inch cubes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large fry pan.
• Brown the onions slowly.
• Stir in the sugar.
• Add the pumpkin, fry it gently until it starts to turn transparent.
• Place evenly in the bottom of a shallow baking dish.
• Heat the remaining oil.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, herbs and half of the parsley to the pan.
• Season well with salt and cayenne.
• Cook gently, just until the tomatoes start to collapse, turn once being careful to keep tomato slices unbroken.
• When the moisture has reduced somewhat, spread the tomatoes, in neat rows, over the pumpkin pieces.
• Add a tablespoon of wine (or water) to the pan, whisk up the pieces and pour carefully over the tomatoes and pumpkin.
• Mix the remaining parsley with the crumbs and sprinkle evenly over the tomatoes and pumpkin.
• Dot with butter.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.

Steps:

• Peel the pumpkin, then cut the flesh into slices 1/2-inch thick.
• In a heavy nonstick frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over med-high heat.
• In batches, lightly saute the pumpkin slices in a single layer, turning once, until lightly browned and just tender, about 6 minutes.
• Do not crowd teh pan, or the slices may fall apart.
• Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a platter with a slotted spoon; set aside.
• Return the pan to medium heat and add the onion.
• Saute lightly, adding more oil if needed to prevent scorching, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic to taste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the tomatoes and season to taste with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
• Continue to cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture has form a saucelike consistency, 15-20 minutes.
• Stir in the rosemary and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Arrange a layer of pumpkin slices in the bottom of an 13 x 9 inch baking dish (or 11 to 12-inch square baking dish) with 3 inch sides.
• Top with about 1/3 of the tomato sauce.
• Repeat, making 3 layers each of pumpkin and sauce and ending with a layer of sauce.
• Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake until the top is lightly glazed and browned in spots and the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a knife, 35-45 minutes, checking it after about 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut pumpkin into small cubes. Toss lightly in oil. Roast at 200 degrees until tender.
• Fry bacon and onion in a little olive oil. When onion is nearly tender, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Cook pasta until almost cooked, about 9 minutes in boiling water.
• Add soup, wine, milk & basil to bacon and onion mix, stirring well, simmer until hot. Add cheeses and stir to combine.
• Mix pumpkin, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes and sauce in with the pasta. Place into a 3L capacity oven safe dish. Top with extra grated cheese.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 200 degrees.
• Remove from the oven and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cook the pasta according to package instructions. In the meantime, prepare the sauce.
• Place saucepan on medium heat. Coat with olive oil, then pour in shallots and cook until they begin to soften (3-5 minutes).

• Add milk, stir, add parmesan, stir.
• Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, stir well-blended.
• Combine the sauce with cooked pasta and stir until evenly distributed.
• Scoop the pasta into a baking dish or a pumpkin, like we did! Top off with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake covered for 15-20 minutes (until cheese has melted).
• Then broil for a quick 2-3 minutes if you want the cheese on top to brown and get toasty. Keep on eye on it while it's broiling to make sure you don't overdo it. Serve immediately, before it gets cold.
• Enjoy!
