Thai-spiced Pumpkin Soup Recipe This pumpkin soup recipe is so perfect for this time of year that I can't help sharing it with you. That being said, I've got about 15 minutes of battery left on my laptop (with no power source in sight), so this write-up is going to be quick. The other night after toasting pumpkin seeds the oven was hot so I cut both a small pumpkin and acorn squash in half, slathered them with butter, kissed them with a sprinkling of salt and in they went. It wasn't my intention to write up the recipe for 101 Cookbooks, so I wasn't paying particularly close attention to exact ingredient amounts. Keep in mind that different Thai curry pastes have differing strengths. 2 acorn squash, pumpkins, or other smallish winter squash 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1 14-ounce can coconut milk 1 teaspoon (or more) red Thai curry paste water 2 teaspoons fine grain sea salt (or to taste) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place the oven racks in the middle. Serves six. Print Recipe
Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili A perfect fall chili made with pumpkin puree, ground turkey, white beans, green chili and spices. Top this with chopped fresh cilantro, scallions, jalapeños, light sour cream, and/or reduced fat cheddar and serve it with baked chips on the side for a wonderful lunch or dinner. I am so happy to share this one with you!!! Not all my crock pot experiments get me excited, but when they do they wind up here on Skinnytaste. The pumpkin is not sweet at all, in fact, if you don't mention it, no one would even know it's there but it does add beautiful color to the chili and for picky eaters, a great way to sneak in vegetables. This is pretty mild as far as heat goes, if you want more kick use chipotle chili powder in place of the chili powder and use it according to your taste. Ingredients: Heat a large heavy saute pan over high heat and lightly spray with oil. Add oil to the saute pan, then onions, garlic, sauté about 3 - 4 minutes; add cumin and sauté another minute. Add to crock pot.

Balsamic Glazed Pumpkin with Walnuts Is fall around already? But we have just begun to enjoy the lovely summer! The unbearable heat of the summer is hopefully in the past here while we are soaking some truly wonderful weather and also some rain. It feels only like summer until I step into the markets and I can see the slow movement in the shelves. We have had a very busy last few days but also some close lovely times between us and some good friends. I will leave you with a very simple recipe today – with some warm spices to walk you through the upcoming chill of the fall. I do not think I am yet ready to let go of the tiny tinges of this leftover summer. But I could not resist picking up the pumpkin… the goodness of both the seasons is what we have in Texas right now! The smoky cumin and the chili peppers compliment the natural hint of sweet in the pumpkin.

Recipe for whole wheat pizza with pumpkin, black beans and caramelized onions Does it take a global village to make a pizza? Yes, in the case of this whole wheat pizza with pumpkin, black beans and caramelized onions. The "dough", a piece of whole wheat Indian naan, gets smeared with pumpkin puree (American), sprinkled with black beans (South American), and topped with caramelized onions (French, oui oui) and Italian parmesan or asiago cheese. We added a bit of garlic-and-onion chicken sausage; you could substitute leftover cooked turkey, or omit the meat altogether. The only oil comes with the onions, which you can make days ahead of time. Whole wheat pizza with pumpkin, black beans and caramelized onions From the pantry, you'll need: canned black beans (or cooked black beans), onions, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, chicken sausage, sea salt, fresh black pepper, extra virgin olive oil.

Sweet and Sour Grilled Pumpkin Recipe It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared any recipes from Sicily, hasn’t it? I learned this Zucca Gialla in Agrodolce, or Pumpkin in Sweet and Sour Sauce, in a cooking class I took from my friends Alberto and Liliana in Catania. In the version I learned, the pumpkin slices were sauteed in olive oil rather than grilled, but I decided to put my own twist on it today! I’m wondering if there are any people out there who bought a few sugar pumpkins this year with the intention of finally making homemade pumpkin puree for their Thanksgiving pies. I have the original recipe somewhere around here, along with the other recipes I learned from Alberto and Liliana. For those of you who don’t live in San Diego, land of year-round grilling, you may revert to the original recipe and brown the pumpkin slices in olive oil rather than cooking them on the grill. Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape out the insides. I find that a vegetable peeler works very well for peeling pumpkins (and butternut squash).
Pumpkin Hummus When cans of pumpkin go flying off supermarkey shelfs and people starts freaking out because there won’t be any pumpkin pie this year, I really just have to sit back and laugh. Don’t get me wrong, I buy canned pumpkin on occasion but when push comes to shove, making pumpkin puree is so easy (and taste better in my opinion.) I don’t see pumpkins just for halloween carving fun (I grew up not knowing you could actually eat pumpkins…) Instead, I see delicious meals out of each one of them and the pumpkin I picked up at the farmer’s market was perfect for hummus. Seasonal pumpkin hummus. Because of the cinnamon and nutmeg, I find this hummus makes for a delicious fall snack and almost has a slightly sweet taste to it (even though there isn’t sugar in it!) I love fall, I really do! Pumpkin Hummus Total time Author: Erin Alderson Recipe type: Appetizers Serves: 2 Ingredients 1 medium pumpkin 1 can garbanzo beans 1 teaspoon tahini 1 tablespoon sunflower oil 2 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg Instructions
Turkey and Zucchini Green Chili With the weather starting to get cooler I have been thinking about soups and stews a lot more. Even with the cooler weather, the markets still have a lot of late summers produce and I figured that it was the perfect time to enjoy some of those vegetables in a warm and hearty stew. I remembered seeing some tomatillos the week before and I was immediately thinking about a salsa verde and a green chili. A green chili, or a chili verde, is a chili that uses tomatillos and green chilis such as poblano and jalapeno chilies instead of tomatoes and red chilies. I tend to associate turkey with fall and it had been a very long time since I had used any so it was the natural meat for the chili.
