Transform mini pumpkins into edible vessels for zesty Mexican bean filling.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 2 medium (about 250g) green zucchini, ends trimmed, finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, halved, finely chopped
  • 35g salt-reduced taco seasoning
  • 1 x 400g can diced Italian tomatoes
  • 1 x 400g can red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
  • 6 small (7cm diameter) mini pumpkins (minikins)
  • Sour cream, to serve
  • 125.00 ml fresh coriander leaves
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 200°C. In a frying pan over medium heat, heat half of the oil. Sauté zucchini, onion, and garlic for 5-8 minutes until soft. Add seasoning and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Stir in the tomato and kidney beans, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • 1. Slice off the tops of the minikins using a sharp knife, then scoop out and discard the seeds with a spoon. Fill each minikin with the bean mixture. 2. Arrange the filled minikins and their lids in a roasting pan. Drizzle with remaining oil. 3. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the minikins are tender.
  • Arrange the stuffed minikins on a platter, add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with coriander, top with minikin lids, and serve.
