- Cut the top of the pumpkin & remove the seeds & some of the meat – I use a spoon
- Season the pumpkin with a lot of salt & pepper
- Put in the oven (with the pumpkin top beside it) for aprox. 40 minutes (20 minutes for 2 small pumpkins)
* Pour out the liquid, that comes in the pumpkin - Prepare the rice as written on the package & leave to cool
- Peel the garlic & slice thinly. Add to a bowl, and save for later
- Cut the corn cob in half, cook it & cut of the corns. Add to a bowl, and save for later
- Wash the tomatoes & cut into quarters. Add to a bowl, and save for later
- Wash the spinach & chop it. Add to a bowl, and save for later
- Wash the chili, cut in half (If you wish – Remove the seeds) & chop the chili finely. Add to the bowl with garlic in
- Peel the red onion, dice it finely & Add to the bowl with garlic in
- Heat up a pan
- Add oil, garlic, chili & red onion to the pan
- Fry & stir for 1 minute-ish & then add the ground chicken
- Fry & stir until the chicken is done
- Add 1 big tbsp tomatopuré & mix it well together
- Add 1 can chopped tomatoes & the cocktail tomatoes
- Roll the lime (to release the juice), cut in half & press the juice of ½ – 1 lime
- Add paprika, cilantro & the tip of a tsp with cayenne pepper
- Stir it all well & let it simmer on low/medium heat for 20 minutes
- After this, add the corns, chopped spinach & rice
- Fry & stir for 5 minutes
- Transfer the food from the pan to the pumpkin
- Heat in the oven for 30 minutes (1 hour in all .. But it also depends on the pumpkin. Always check it, the last 30 minutes. The pumpkin should be very soft – 15 – 20 minutes for 2 small pumpkins)
Put on the pumpkin top, if you think it gets to much heat - Take out of the oven & very carefully transfer the pumpkin to a nice serving dish or a cutting board
- Cut a slice & sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan & chopped fresh basil
