| Directions: | ||
| To cook pumpkin: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. With a sharp knife, cut a 4-inch lid off top of pumpkin. (Angle cut so lid goes back on more easily.) With a large spoon, scoop out seeds and stringy fibers; discard or reserve for another use. Cover hole with a sheet of foil and set pumpkin lid back on top. Place in a baking pan with 1/2-inch water; bake until inside is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from oven and keep warm. Pilaf: Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, peppers, zucchini and shallots. Saute until vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in rice, raisins, black pepper, turmeric and salt; cook 1 minute more. Add water; cover and cook over medium-low heat until liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Fluff pilaf with a fork and stir in broccoli and cilantro if desired. Spoon pilaf into pumpkin and cover with lid. (Discard foil.) Set stuffed pumpkin on a large platter in center of table. When serving pilaf, scrape inside of pumpkin with serving spoon and mix pumpkin into pilaf. Makes 4 servings. (If you double recipe, use 2 pumpkins, not 1 large pumpkin.)
