Cooking Small Stuffed Pumpkin:
- Cut off the top of the fruit, clean it from fibers and seeds. For the dish, it is better to choose a small pumpkin that bakes quickly.
- In a skillet with butter, fry the onion for a short time until a yellowish color is formed and add to the minced meat, which already contains slightly boiled rice. The benefits of rice in this dish are special; it is the main ingredient with pumpkin.
- Then add salt and black pepper to this mixture to taste. If minced meat is seasoned with exotic spices, such as curry, then the dish gets an unusually intriguing taste.
- After that, fill the pumpkin with this mixture and break the egg on top, which, during cooking, forms a lid on the pumpkin and slows down evaporation.
- Wrap the stuffed pumpkin in foil and place in the oven, where we bake it for at least 45 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.
- Remove the finished dish from the oven and let it cool slightly, after which you can eat it right away.
Bon Appetit!
