Ingredients
Pumpkin Stuffed with Diced Bacon
Rinse pumpkins and cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and fibers and scoop out pulp up to 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch). Arrange pumpkin halves, cut side up, on a lined with baking paper baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little oil and bake in preheated oven at 180°C (approximately 350°F) for 35-40 minutes.
Peel and rinse potatoes and carrots, cut into small cubes. Cut pumpkin pulp into small pieces. Cook everything in boiling salted water for 20 minutes. Drain and press through a potato ricer. Combine with butter and milk, puree. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Place bacon in a skillet, add nuts and cook for a few minutes. Remove baked pumpkin halves from the oven, arrange on plates and stuff with puree, sprinkle with bacon and nut mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
