Pumpkin recipes?

[lalaithnil]

DH and I went a little crazy when we saw organic canned pumpkin in Walmart, so I'm on the hunt for something to do with it. DH wants some pumpkin custard, so if anyone has a loved recipe for that and wants to share :rockon.
Any suggestions/recipes?

I LOVE pumpkin. Love it. :yum

These are awesome, you can use coconut oil instead of shortening.

On my blog, I just posted a Butternut Squash Polenta. However, usually, I used canned pumpkin. You can make the recipe as it is written, substituting a 15 oz can of pumpkin. My kids love it. I usually serve it with pork chops, grilled chicken, or even steak. I think topping it with some roasted, seasoned pumpkin seeds would be nice, too.

1 c onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 t salt

Saute onions and garlic in butter, add spices and saute a minute or two more. Add broth, simmer 15-20 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and coconut milk. Blend with immersion blender, or in batches in a regular blender until smooth and creamy. Eat.

[lalaithnil]

mine didn't look as pretty as hers. but it was FABULOUS. seriously, I just ate some for lunch today. her description is dead on (this is one of my favorite food blogs - she's such a great writer and photographer besides a fabulous cook!).

my modifications:
1/2 butter, 1/2 coconut oil
red wine vinegar instead of Sherry vinegar
didn't bother with any garnish
omitted black pepper (I hate the stuff)
used the whole can of tomatoes, drained, rather than measuring out a cup

:yum

I just saw this...and realize I didn't respond back when this was originally posted. :blush

But...here is my pumpkin custard recipe. :yum

3 eggs
1/2 C white sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
2 T flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1-16oz can pumpkin
1 1/2 C milk

The easy way...throw all the ingredients into your blender and blend until well mixed. Pour into a large greased backing dish. Bake for 1 hour at 375F, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes clean.

This is great served warm with a scoop of ice cream, or cold the next day for breakfast! ;)

I haven't looked through the replies so the first may be here already. The other two are my creations:D

from www.food.com/recipe/starbucks-pumpkin-spice-latte-copycat-270550

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (Copycat)

3 tablespoons canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored syrup (I used Torani)
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup milk
3 ounces espresso (1-2 shots)

In a small saucepan, stir pumpkin puree into milk. Add vanilla syrup and pumpkin pie spice. Heat gently, continuing to stirring occasionally just until steaming and foam begins to appear. Pour pumpkin flavored milk into a tall mug and pour espresso over. Top with whip cream and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.


PUMPKIN SMASHED TATERS

~2 lbs red potatoes, unpeeled, cubed
1 can pumpkin
Butter
Salt
Cream
Parsley flakes
Green onions

Boil potatoes until tender. Drain. Mash with pumpkin, butter, salt, cream and parsley. Top servings with green onions.

CREAMY PUMPKIN PASTA

12-16 oz whole wheat penne
4 c. rice milk
1/2 cornstarch
1 cup canned pumpkin
Cream (1/3-1/2 c?)
Salt

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pot.

While pasta is cooking, make sauce. Heat 3 cups of rice milk over medium heat until hot. Mix cornstarch into remaining rice milk, whisking until smooth. Slowly whisk cornstarch mixture into hot rice milk. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Add pumpkin and cream and salt to taste. Heat.

Mix sauce into pasta.

*I made this once with pumpkin pie spices in it. It was a hit!

So would this recipe work as a pie filling if I just stuck it in a crust? It looks good, and I've been on the search for a good pumpkin pie filling!

[Marrae]

I came across this recipe today and thought of this thread.
Vegan Pumpkin Shepherd's Pie

:yes It is basically the same as my pumpkin pie recipe....just a bit larger proportions. The recipe I posted would overfill a normal pie crust.

So what's your recipe for pumpkin pie?

[backtobasicsmum]

Ooops! I just compared my recipe, and there is only one minor difference. My pumpkin pie recipe has only 1 1/4 cup milk vs the 1 1/2 cup that is in the custard recipe.

And fwiw, the recipe also works just fine with a gluten free flour and/or using almond milk in place of cow milk.

[houseforjoy]

pumpkin pie is also yummy if you use egg nog or vanilla ice cream in place of the milk :shifty:yes
