The perfect pumpkin with minced lamb and couscous filling recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

  • 4 piece Pumpkins á about 400 gr or 2 larger Hokkaido
  • 400 ml Vegetable broth
  • 350 gr Couscous

  • 500 gr Pre-Order minced lamb or buy it from a Turkish butcher
  • 2 piece Eggs

  1. Wash the pumpkins at the top, cut off a lid. Remove the seeds inside the pumpkins with a sharp-edged spoon. For the filling, heat the broth, place the couscous in a bowl and let it soak for about 10 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, peel off the onion and garlic, dice both, soak the roll and chop the thyme leaves. Knead the onion and garlic cubes, the squeezed out bun, the mince, the eggs, thyme and tomato paste together well. Salt and pepper the mince.

  3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (convection). Pour the couscous, minced meat and goat cheese into the pumpkins in layers. Finish with goat cheese, put the pumpkin lid back on. Now put the pumpkins in a pan with a grill grate and put some water on the bottom.
