I chop it up toss with olive oil and roast it in the oven with a big yellow onion and a lot of chopped up rosemary. Once it is cooked I scoop the flesh out (it it kind of hard to peel raw and I am lazy) I toss it in the blender with coconut milk (amount on how thick you want and depending on size of pumpkin/squash) blend it up and toss it in a pot.

If a recipe calls for butternut or acorn squash, you can easily sub a cooking pumpkin. Giant jack o lantern pumpkins are not sweet enough for cooking purposes. This is good to know. I'm just learning about cooking and am soaking up as much info as I can. These details are awesome BUT .. where does one find a cooking pumpkin? The stores we frequent only sell pumpkin in cans unless it's Halloween. :glare: I would happily visit other stores if I knew they sold pumpkins though.

I will have to write this down so that I don't have to keep coming back to this thread as the ironic source of a good recipe. :lol: Where do you find your pumpkins and where can one find coconut milk?

(I feel like such a n00b, sorry lol) Regular stores usually have coconut milk in cans by the asian food. You can use cream or milk instead, I use coconut milk due to allergies. I just use sugar pumpkins but pumpkin isn't in season atm. Edited February 18, 2011 by Sis typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is disturbing to me is that in past experience in my neck of the U.S. I can't even find it in cans year round.

DarcyB Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 yeah - unless you find them at a whole foods type store, pumpkin generally isn't carried in US stores except during the fall, because it's in season then (one of the few foods we don't ship from the other side of the world to have year'round. Pumpkin in tins is about the only way to find it here, unless you look in my freezer and see the 50 bags of it I have frozen from the pumpkins I could get this fall LOL. The states actually have had a shortage of pumpkin the last few years, and it's been hard to find canned pumpkin in a lot of places. When I mentioned it to my MIL last year, she found a case of it at Walmart, and bought the whole case to give me for my birthday LOL So I have a lot of canned pumpkin now, too! And yes, some of us eat it in all sorts of stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
