Servings 4
Cook Time 90 minutes
Ingredients
- 1,5 kg Pumpkin
- 6 pieces Chicken thigh without skin and bones
- 2 pieces Onions
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup I have a homemade
- Salt to taste
- 2 pieces Bay leaf
- 4 pieces Allspice (peas)
- 2 pieces Chile pepper full, small
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Seasoning for chicken
Instructions
- A small pumpkin 1-2 kg cut in half lengthwise.
- Remove the seed pulp and make shallow incisions inside the pumpkin along the walls, so that the pumpkin is better baked and absorbs the juices from the meat.
- To make the pumpkin stand flat on the surface, cut the skin on the back of each part a little.
- Butter the pumpkin inside and sprinkle with spices and salt and leave for the time of marinating the meat.
- Marinate chicken thighs in ketchup for 30 minutes.
- Put the thighs in the pumpkin (I didn't cut them, I put them whole, but you can cut them if you want), add the onion, cut into pieces, Bay, allspice and chili pepper (pepper to give its flavor, so you don't need to cut it, so as not to expose the sharp seeds)
- Tightly pack the pumpkin with foil, put it on a baking sheet or on a mold, pour a little water on the bottom so that the pumpkin covers 1 cm.
- Cook in foil at 200-220 degrees until the pumpkin is soft (I got a little more than an hour) Then remove the foil, grease the top of the dish with oil and brown for a few more minutes. Serve better in a warm form.
- Bon appetit!
