Draggingtree Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Use pumpkin in savory dishes By Bernice Torregrossa Contributor Published October 31, 2012 You don’t have to be one of Charlie Brown and Linus’ fellow believers in the Great Pumpkin to celebrate the fact that pumpkin season is here. It’s hard to miss its arrival in the stores, where the big orange globes have outgrown the produce section and often are piled outside. Many of those pumpkins were destined to become Halloween decorations, but as October turns into November, pumpkins are much more likely to end up in the kitchen than on the front porch. Both the round orange fruit and the seeds inside can be cooked into fall dishes ranging from salads to desserts. snip The taste of pumpkin has become so associated with autumn that many microbreweries craft a special pumpkin ale each fall. Houston’s Saint Arnold brewery concocts a pumpkin ale, Pumpkinator, that is highly anticipated each October. The brewmasters said the amount of pumpkin they use in making their limited batch would be enough to bake 437 pies. snip Fall Greens Salad with Pumpkin Seeds (Recipe courtesy of Whole Foods Market) Stuffed Pumpkin with Cheese, Bacon and Chipotle Chiles (Recipe from “The Homesick Texan,” by Lisa Fain) Healthier Pumpkin-Ale Bread (Recipe courtesy of Breadtopia Baking Supply, Fairfield, Iowa) http://galvestondailynews.com/story/358594 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
