PUMPKIN STUFFED WITH RICE STUFFING

For Samhain (Halloween) I always make a stuffed pumpkin or other squash (Sweet Dumpling, Acorn, etc...) that I serve with stuffing. If you just want stuffing, then cook it in any covered casserole dish.

1 medium eating pumpkin
4 C cooked brown basmati rice
1 medium onion-diced
1 C carrots-chopped
1 C clelery-chopped
10 oz frozen corn
1 apple
1 C walnuts
1/2 C raisins
3 T brags aminos
1 t cinnamon
dash of paprika
pinch of ginger
1/4 C olive oil

Cut the top off of the pumpkin and remove pulp. Coat inside of pumpkin with honey, replace top, and cook @ 350 F for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Dice and saute the onion, carrot, and celery until the the vegetables are tender. Chop the apple and then combine all the ingredients except the pumpkin in a large bowl and toss. Place inside of the pumpkin or a casserole dish. (Place any excess in a covered casserole.) Return pumpkin to oven and bake @ 350 F for another hour.
