Vegetarian Baked Pumpkins

This title really doesn't do the recipe justice.

Vegetarian Baked Pumpkins:

Ingredients:

4 whole Golden Nugget pumpkins (they're small pumpkins)
1 cup zucchini, grated
2 cups potatoes, grated
4 shallots/spring onions, chopped
1 can soya beans, drained
3/4 tsp ground cumin seeds
1 cup grated carrots
2 large mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp chopped fresh coriander

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180*C
2. Cute 1/3 off the top of each pumpkin and scoop out the seeds
3. Level off base of pumpkins so they sit flat
4. Wrap pumpkins in foil and bake for 20 mins
5. Combine grated vegetables, mushrooms, shallots, cheese, soya beans, honey, cumin and coriander and mix well
6. Remove pumpkins from the oven and upwrap the top of the foil
7. Fill pumpkins with bean mixture and cover over again with foil
8. Return pumpkins to oven and bake a further 40 mins or until pumpkins are tender.

Serve whole!
