Delicious filled Pumpkin is the perfect oven dish to start the autumn season. Those who say that the weather is not following the seasons anymore are wrong. Exactly on September 21st the hot summer weather give in to autumn storm and rain.
My parents have pumpkins in their garden, and they have been growing exceptionally well this year. So I took a small one home to make this filled version. On my balcony I have been growing Cherry Tomatoes, and I used the last ones for this meal. So it is very homegrown.
The inspiration comes from a German blog: Gaumenfreundin. If you speak German I can warmly recommend it. I am a pumpkin fan, and I make several pumpkin recipes every year. Please check my pumpkin recipes for more inspiration.
