Spicy Fall Stew Baked in a Pumpkin

Serves:  6

Per Serving:  220 calories, 31g carbohydrates, 6g protein, 9g fat, 6g fiber

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch dice

2 cloves of garlic minced (about 2 tsp)

1 3-4 pound pumpkin (sugar pie, red kuri, or kabocha)

½ lb tomatillos, husked and quartered (about 1½ cups)

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

¾ tsp salt (or to taste)

1 15oz can of hominy, rinsed and drained

2 oz of grated sharp Cheddar cheese (½ cup packed)

Cooking Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 1 Tbs. oil in pot over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté 7 minutes, or until softened. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and oregano, and cook 3 minutes more, or until spices darken.
  2. Add tomatillos, hominy, ½ cup water, and salt. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, 10 to 12 minutes, or until tomatillos are softened. Uncover, and cook 5 minutes more to thicken stew, if necessary.
  3. Meanwhile, cut top of pumpkin around stem to make lid. Scoop out pumpkin seeds and strings. Rub inside of pumpkin with remaining 1 Tbs. oil, and sprinkle generously with salt. Sprinkle cheese in bottom of pumpkin.
  4. Fill pumpkin with stew, then top with pumpkin lid. Place on parchment-covered baking sheet and bake 1½ to 2 hours, or until pumpkin flesh is fork-tender. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes.
  5. Scoop stew, including pumpkin, into bowls and serve hot, topped with Poblano-Cucumber Salsa.
