"Bulgur to Houston: We are heading for the planet Turbank pumpkin. On the way we have visibility of cinnamon comets, cayenne pepper asteroids and herb satellites. But now we have to eat first. Over.

Ingredients

Servings: 4

1.4 kg Turbank pumpkin
7-10 Tbsp Salt
7-10 Tbsp Pepper
7-10 Tbsp Cinnamon
7-10 Tbsp Cayenne pepper
7-10 Tbsp pimentón de la vera dulce
150 g Bulgur
2 Garlic cloves
4 Stem/s Thyme
1 Organic Lemon
1 TABLESPOON Grenadine (pomegranate syrup)
4 TABLESPOONS Olive oil
1 Onion
400 g mixed mince
300 g Greek cream yoghurt
baking paper
7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil

Directions

1
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Wash the pumpkin and cut into slices. Remove seeds and soft fibres. Put pumpkin slices on the baking tray, season with salt and pepper. Bake in a hot oven for 30-40 minutes, possibly cover with aluminium foil after about 20 minutes.
2
Meanwhile cook Bulgur in 1⁄2 l boiling salt water according to the instructions on the package. Peel garlic and chop finely. Wash parsley and thyme, shake dry, pluck off the leaves and chop finely. Wash lemon hot, dry and grate the peel finely. Drain bulgur well in a sieve and put it back into the pot. Stir in garlic, herbs, lemon peel and 2 tbsp. oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
For the minced onion peel, dice finely. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Fry the minced onion for about 5 minutes until crumbly. Fry the onion and 1 tsp. cinnamon briefly. Stir in grenadine. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Fold in Bulgur and warm up briefly.
4
Dress pumpkin with minced bulgur mix. Sprinkle with pimentón de la vera. Stir yoghurt smooth and serve with it.

Tip: Bake with the bowl, without eating. That way the pumpkin does not disintegrate in the oven and looks pretty when served. But the skin is not suitable for eating, so spoon out the flesh.
