Reviewed on Nov. 7, 2003 by MAURAPOWERS please add recommendation to put pumpkin in a roasting pan. The pumpkin sagged and juice ran into
You can slice pumpkin really thin and dip it in egg and flour and lightly fry it in olive oil. If you like fried zucchini you will love fried pumpkin.
Pumpkin Risotto? I had extra canned pumpkin last year- so I experimented and I used some chicken stock, a small touch of chili powder and some pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.......I stirred in some grated cheese at the end- it was so yummy and I am sure it would be better w/ REAL pumpkin.
