Fun Halloween recipes


And what if Halloween was also an opportunity for children (and even older children...) to discover new flavors! the reason why pumpkins are such an essential part of the decor for this strange holiday is precisely because gourds and other pumpkins are harvested in autumn. And squash comes in all shapes and colors, but always with a sweet taste... So a pumpkin decked out for Halloween on the table arouses astonishment and the desire to taste it!

Scary stuffed pumpkin recipe

Cutting the pumpkin
As potimarrons come in a variety of sizes, this recipe can be prepared for a large table, as well as for one or two people! For 4 people, a 1 kg or 1.2 kg potimarron may suffice.
Choose an organic pumpkin to enjoy it with its skin (the skin is edible and even particularly nutritious, but it is rich in pesticides if it comes from non-organic farming): the vegetable thus doubles up as a cooking dish! As this recipe is based on many delicate cuts, it should be prepared by adults. But children, as faithful helpers, can begin the work by brushing the skin of the little pumpkin under running water! Cut off the top of the pumpkin (a delicate step - watch out for your fingers!), then remove the seeds and fibers. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh with a spoon.

Using a small knife, draw the shape of the (large) eyes, nose and toothless mouth (which may or may not smile, depending on the age of the guests!). Again with the knife, remove the skin from these areas.
A stuffing mix is then poured into the pumpkin: onions, sausage meat (or organic sausages, which are easier to find and contain no additives particularly harmful to young children), and cooked rice or quinoa. The pumpkin, covered with its "hat", is then placed in the hot oven for 1 hour at a low temperature (165° c). See the complete recipe for sausage-stuffed pumpkin.

The squash's Halloween decor, with big manga-style eyes, plays with the squash's skin: you can just peel it off and get a tongue sticking out (!) and eyes with angry eyebrows, or remove all the skin from the drawn areas and enjoy the color contrast between the orange-yellow flesh and the beige skin. stuffing: onion (yes, it's Halloween!) and cooked rice mixed with squash flesh and spices (nutmeg works well). Baked in the oven with potato chips, these will soak up the cooking juices of our squash and make a complete vegetarian dish. See the detailed recipe for stuffed squash.

Ghost fries for Halloween!

Another vegetable that lends itself well to easy culinary sculptures is the potato.
For each potato, keep the first and last slices, those bulging slices which will give relief to the little ghosts. Cut each slice in 2, drawing waves. Then, using the tip of the knife, cut out triangular eyes.
