Mini Stuffed Pumpkins Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut tops off of pumpkins & scrape out seeds as you would a jack-o-lantern. Rub inside with olive oil and a small amount of salt & pepper. Place pumpkins on a baking tray, along with tops. Bake for 45 minutes.
  • While the pumpkins are baking, cook your rice normally (2 cups water to 1 cup rice, about 20 minutes), adding 1 clove of minced garlic and the cranberries/cherries to the rice as it comes to a simmer, then cover & steam. Add the onion and remaining garlic to a saute pan heated over medium high, and cook in olive oil until translucent. Add the almonds and cook until they become golden. Cut the lamb into small pieces and add to the pan; season with nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, rosemary, and dashes of salt & pepper. Cook the lamb to preferred doneness (I like mine medium). Transfer the rice mixture to the pan and mix in with the lamb, turn off heat. Remove pumpkins from the oven and stuff with the filling. If necessary, return the pumpkins to oven to reheat; serve hot with a spoon!
