Spicy Pumpkin Lunch Box
I made up this recipe recently because we've had a bumper crop of tiny pumpkins. they make a perfect meal for one all by themselves
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400.
Heat the olive oil with the onions , chili powder and garlic in a large cast iron skillet , when they get fragrant , add the sausage discs.
Toss together.
After a few minutes , add the rice and stir fry for a three minutes.
Turn off the heat and mix in the flax seeds and salt.
Put aside.
Lobotomize the pumpkins: cut the tops off , scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff inside.
If you want to roast the seeds , rinse them off and set aside.
Pack the stuffing inside the pumpkins , replace tops.
Put the pumpkins on a baking sheet in the preheated oven , and cover with tinfoil or an additional baking sheet inverted.
Pop in the oven , check after 20 minutes , check after an additional 10-20 minutes.
Pumpkins are done when they are slightly soft , and slightly brown.
Serve with the lids on , and let eaters open them.
