17 Pumpkin Recipes to Help You Use an Entire Pumpkin
Pumpkin is like your coolest friend: It fits in everywhere, effortlessly. Whether you add it to a soup with goat cheese or to cookies with chocolate chips, pumpkin will flatter the other ingredients yet keep its own distinct personality.
As for using the entire pumpkin, we don’t have so many ideas for the stem and the leaves, but take a look at the 17 recipes below – we’ve definitely got the rest of the pumpkin (no matter how hulking) covered.
Hard Squash Hummus by Modern Farmer
This recipe is adapted by Karen Leibowitz from a dish served at the San Francisco restaurant Bar Tartine, where chef Nicolaus Balla tops roasted and puréed butternut squash with sunflower sprouts, curried yogurt, cilantro purée and pomegranate molasses. The toppings suggested here are somewhat simpler – creativity is encouraged.
