Pumpkin casserole in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pumpkin casserole in the oven? Prepare your food. The amount of pumpkin indicated is already peeled. Instead of sour cream, you can use kefir or natural yogurt. You don’t have to add raisins and nuts at all, or you can use any other dried fruits.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, fill the semolina with sour cream or any other fermented milk product. My sour cream turned out to be very thick, I had to add a little kefir. Leave the semolina to swell for 20 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the pumpkin. Cut it into small pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place them in a saucepan and add a small amount of water, one and a half glasses is enough.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the pumpkin on low heat and simmer, covered, after boiling for 20-25 minutes. It should become soft, check it with a knife. Drain the water and leave the pumpkin to cool.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the raisins. How to steam raisins correctly? Pour hot water over the well-washed raisins and leave for 10-15 minutes. During this time it will become soft. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Dry the nuts in a dry frying pan and then chop them.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then puree it with a blender until it becomes a smooth puree. Beat the eggs into the pumpkin and add sugar. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

8. STEP 8

   

   Blend the mixture again with a blender.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the pumpkin mixture into the swollen semolina, add baking powder and mix everything well until smooth. Add raisins and nuts, stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Take a baking dish and grease it with butter. I have a rectangular ceramic mold measuring 31*17 cm. Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the top with a spatula.

11. STEP 11

    

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the casserole for 45-60 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the finished casserole from the oven and cool slightly.

12. STEP 12

    

    Serve the casserole warm or cooled with sour cream, jam, honey, and berries. Bon appetit!

As we said goodbye to autumn, I wanted to cook something tender and nutritious. I like the author’s recipes, I look through them often, and cook according to my mood. I replaced the nuts with apple and pumpkin slices, all other ingredients and actions were strictly according to the author's recipe. A few minutes of waiting and... a miracle, a miracle - ocher with the smell of baked apples. It's so cozy, it's so soulful. Semolina and puree “got married” so successfully that it’s hard to guess what the casserole is made from. And it’s not a casserole at all, it’s a real sponge cake. As a result: I wanted tenderness - I got it. Both from the dish and from those invited to the table.

I made pumpkin casserole for breakfast. In our family, pumpkin is not held in particular esteem, but I really liked the look of the casserole. I had one small butternut squash. I got a little less than 400 grams of peeled pumpkin. I used 20% thick sour cream, so, on the author’s advice, I diluted it a little, albeit with milk (I didn’t have kefir). The casserole was cooked in a round cast iron pan lined with parchment for 30 minutes. She looks wonderful, it looks like real sunshine. The taste of the casserole pleasantly surprised me. You can feel the pumpkin, but its taste is not very bright. The casserole is sweet, I probably would have added less sugar, perhaps I just found the pumpkin very sweet. It seems to me that lemon zest or even a little lemon grinded in a blender would be very useful in this casserole. Its taste would complement the sweetness of the pumpkin. Otherwise, the casserole turned out to be very tasty and tender. Thank you very much for the recipe!
