I made one half, think didn't scoop out enough pumpkin or roast it long enough. It was ok, probably would not make again (but I think it's because I didn't cook long enough). Also have lots of stuffing left over.
Really looking forward to trying this. Thanks
Looking forward to trying this recipe! Love pumpkin. Thank you!
Thanks for all your awesome comments
it does make heaps of stuffing - I use a sharp knife and cut the flesh in a grid, then use a spoon to get it out...
Also, I usually just mix the uncooked flesh in with the rest of the stuffing mix and it should cook in the oven.
Thank you for a very filling meal - we had two butternut pumpkins between five adults and in tge end we struggled to finish the delicious vegetarian main course. I did remove some of the pumpkin when it was raw by marking out a grid and removing small cubes with a sharp spoon, but it was much easier after the pumpkin halves had been roasted to scoop out the rest. I didn't even use the raw pumpkin that had been set aside as there was so much lush roast pumpkin I could easily use. Delicious! Thank you.

I have this in the oven and it smells amazing, but how on earth did you get the raw pumpkin flesh out of the shell? I really struggled with this, and it took me about an hour to do the four pieces, and even then I left a very "thick" shell !!
FABULOUS! halved the recipe & man it makes a heck of alot, it stuffed a whole pumpkin plus we have left over stuffing. Definately a winner.
Hi, The pumpkin is cooked in step 5 once the mixture is placed in the oven.

HI, this looks so nice - just wondering if the pumkin flesh needs to be cooked at all? I have quite a lot of pumkin flesh set aside .
