Baked Pumpkin And Onion Slices Food

BAKED PUMPKIN SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the pumpkin, from top to bottom, into 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick slices; discard seeds and strings.
• Spread slices on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Combine the remaining oil with the rest of the ingredients and brush a bit of this mixture onto the pumpkin.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, turn, brush again, and bake until done, an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
• Run the slices very briefly under the broiler to brown them if you like.
• Serve.

BAKED PUMPKIN WITH CREAM & ONIONS

Steps:

• Cut the top(s) off the pumpkin or squash to make a lid. Scoop out all the seeds from the inside and discard.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Gently cook the onions in the butter until very soft but not browned. Stir in the sugar and sage for a few mins. Take off the heat and add the cream, cheese and breadcrumbs with lots of seasoning. Spoon into the pumpkin or squash, then replace the lid(s). Wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet and bake the large pumpkin for 1½ hrs or minis for 40 mins, then carefully remove the foil. Continue to bake for 30 mins more until really soft and tender when poked with a small knife. Serve one mini pumpkin per person, or spoon wedges from a large one, spooning the creamy filling onto plates.

BAKED PUMPKIN AND ONION SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel and slice the pumpkin (removing any seeds and stringy flesh), and the onion.
• Layer the pumpkin and onion in a small, rectangular baking dish, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Repeat the layer, and season.
• Cover with a layer of brown sugar.
• Pour melted butter over the top (I think you could use 1/2 to 3/4 stick of butter, to cut back).
• Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or longer, until tender and carmelized.

PUMPKIN AND ONION SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, saute the onions in the butter over medium heat until they are golden. Sprinkle with sugar and continue cooking until they just begin to brown.
• While the onions are cooking, peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and stringy core and cut it into half-inch cubes. Steam the pumpkin until it is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Puree the pumpkin with a little of the stock in a blender or food processor. Better results are obtained in a blender.
• Add the pumpkin puree and the remaining chicken stock to the onions, bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Just before serving, preheat a broiler. Top each of the toasted bread croutons with some of the cheese. Divide the soup among six ovenproof ramekins, crocks or bowls and float a cheese-topped crouton on each. Place under the broiler just until the cheese melts, then serve.
