Instructions
  1. 1
    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
    2. 2
      Cut a hole on top of the pumpkin, shaping a ‘lid’. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Rub the inside with oil.
    3. 3
      Place millet in a sieve and pour over hot water. Rinse and drain.
    4. 4
      Place in a saucepan and cover with 3 cups water.
    5. 5
      Bring to a boil, lower the heat immediately and let gently simmer for 10 minutes.
    6. 6
      Remove from heat, cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
    7. 7
      Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Sauté onions, mushrooms and kale for a couple of minutes until soft.
    8. 8
      Add wine, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for about 5 more minutes.
    9. 9
      When the liquid is almost evaporated, add cranberries, almonds, parsley and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the flavors.
    10. 10
      Turn the heat off and remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked millet.
    11. 11
      Now add the crumbled silken tofu and toss to combine.
    12. 12
      Fill the pumpkin with the millet stuffing. Place the pumpkin ‘lid’ on top and bake in the oven for about an hour (maybe less or more, adjust to the size of the pumpkin), this depends on the oven and on the size and type of the pumpkin.
    13. 13
      Check the pumpkin flesh with a knife from time to time and stir around the stuffing with a spoon. The pumpkin is ready when skin is browned and bubbly and the flesh is soft. Garnish with parsley.
