Total preparation time: 1 hour Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 4 Necessary ingredients: - 1 small handful of dried porcini mushrooms - 1 small pumpkin, cut in half and seeded - 4 tablespoons of olive oil - 1 red onion, finely chopped - 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped - 1 teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds - 1-2 pinches of dried chili pepper, to taste - 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped - 5 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped - Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste - 100 g basmati rice - 1 handful of pine nuts, lightly toasted Preparation method: 1. Preparing the mushrooms: Start by soaking the porcini mushrooms in 140 ml of boiling water. Let them hydrate for 5 minutes to regain their soft texture and intense aroma. Once softened, drain and finely chop them. 2. Preparing the oven: Preheat the oven to 230°C (gas mark 8). This high temperature will help caramelize the pumpkin, giving it a delicious crust. 3. Preparing the filling: Cut the pumpkin in half and, using a spoon, scoop out the flesh. Chop the flesh together with the seeds. In a pan, heat the 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the red onion and chopped garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until translucent and tender. 4. Adding flavors: In the same pan, add the coriander seeds, chili pepper, rosemary, and chopped tomatoes. Continue cooking the mixture for another 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the porcini mushrooms and let them cook for 2 minutes to release their flavors. 5. Including the rice: Once the mushrooms are well incorporated into the mixture, add the basmati rice and toasted pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper, mixing everything evenly. 6. Filling the pumpkin: Fill both halves of the pumpkin well with the mushroom and rice mixture. Press lightly to compact and ensure an even filling. 7. Baking: Place the two halves of the pumpkin together, pressing gently to stick them. Brush the outside of the pumpkin with a little olive oil, then wrap it in aluminum foil to bake evenly. Place the pumpkin in a baking dish and bake for about 40 minutes. 8. Serving: The Hamilton pumpkin is served warm, sliced. You can drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and add a few fresh rosemary leaves for an elegant look and intensified aroma. Useful tips: - You can replace the porcini mushrooms with other types of mushrooms, such as champignon or shiitake, for a more accessible version. - If you want a spicier note, add a bit of chili sauce or chili flakes to the filling mixture. - The Hamilton pumpkin can be served as a main dish or as a side dish, alongside a fresh salad. This Hamilton pumpkin recipe will not only bring joy to your table but will also impress with its complex flavor and beautiful presentation. Enjoy every bite!
