Choose a juicy pumpkin with a nice "heart-shaped" hole in the middle.
Put it in a microwave dish & cook for 20 mins.
Scoop out the seeds
(You may keep the seeds aside for boiling broth cuz pumpkin seeds are rich in minerals :) and they're good for preventing prostate cancer & Erectile Dysfunction... Not that I have to worry about ever having ED.
I digressed...
Anyway, put bits of chicken meat or whatever else you wish to have inside the pumpkin hole
Top it up with a generous amount of good Kiwi or Aussie cheddar cheese :)))
I'd recommend Bega Strong & Bitey Vintage & Bega Light - for the health conscious.
This is to reduce the amount of fat & yet retain the wonderful fresh cheddar cheese flavour.
You're most welcome to use the normal cheddar blocks if you wish and be assured that the recipe won't go wrong
Guess wot, these cost NZD$1.99 at Foodtown :)) *grin*
In Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, Bega is almost like a luxury item - probably about NZD$5-6 for the same size
You can choose to put it in the fridge to be baked later...
Or you can bake it rightaway :)
- for about 15-20 mins on 200-250 deg. Celcius, depending on how "brown" you want the cheese to be.
I love mine slightly browned :), just like the the Strawberry-Pumpkin-Potato-Tomato-Onion-Broccoli-Beetroot Quiche
You can't possibly go wrong with this dish!!!
It's wayyy tooo eassyy
But if it does, go wrong, don't get disheartened ;)
Cuz...
...shit happens aye
