Stuffed Baby Pumpkins

You have got to add these Stuffed Baby Pumpkins to your pumpkin recipes for Thanksgiving this year. They are one of my favorite Thanksgiving pumpkin recipes – they are so cute. I love when I see baby pumpkins at the local farmers market in the lead up to Thanksgiving. One of these years I might even grow my own baby pumpkins to stuff.

To make this fantastic Thanksgiving dish, start by baking the mini pumpkins. As the pumpkins bake, make risotto by combining rice and sauteed onions with white wine and stock. Add Parmesan and parsley. Remove the pumpkins from the oven and cut off the lids. Add the flesh from the extra pumpkin to the risotto. Spoon the risotto into each mini pumpkin and replace the lids. 

To make my Stuffed Baby Pumpkins, you will need the following ingredients:
