Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 lbs pumpkin, peeled
6 tablespoons oil (I use olive oil)
2 large onions, finely sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 lb tomatoes, skinned if you want and sliced
2 -3 garlic cloves, smashed
2 -3 teaspoons chopped fresh basil (, or 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon dried) or 2 -3 teaspoons chopped tarragon (, or 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon dried)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon wine or 1 tablespoon water
2/3 cup soft breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Remove any seeds from the pumpkin and cut into 3/4 inch strips.
  • Cook in boiling salted water for 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Drain and dry thoroughly on paper towel.
  • Dice strips into about 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large fry pan.
  • Brown the onions slowly.
  • Stir in the sugar.
  • Add the pumpkin, fry it gently until it starts to turn transparent.
  • Place evenly in the bottom of a shallow baking dish.
  • Heat the remaining oil.
  • Add the tomatoes, garlic, herbs and half of the parsley to the pan.
  • Season well with salt and cayenne.
  • Cook gently, just until the tomatoes start to collapse, turn once being careful to keep tomato slices unbroken.
  • When the moisture has reduced somewhat, spread the tomatoes, in neat rows, over the pumpkin pieces.
  • Add a tablespoon of wine (or water) to the pan, whisk up the pieces and pour carefully over the tomatoes and pumpkin.
  • Mix the remaining parsley with the crumbs and sprinkle evenly over the tomatoes and pumpkin.
  • Dot with butter.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.

The bake was a bit too watery for my liking. I think I'll try reducing the amount of liquid next time.
