Last night I made 3 new recipes. First I made clam balls which was supposed to be like stuffed baked clams. Well I goofed on that and it tasted like spicy stuffing. At the same time I made baked tortilla chips for a low cal version of chips and salsa. I can live with that recipe. And finally I made a veggie and white bean burger recipe. Those were delicious.
Tonight I am making breaded chicken cutlets for my hubby and I am having my bean burger with pumpkin soup.
2 c fresh pumpkin or 1 16 oz can (I always use fresh pumpkin)
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
3 c sugar (I use sugar, but you could substitute Splenda)
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten (I actually don't beat the eggs ahead of time)
1 c vegetable oil (I use 3/4 c corn oil and 1/4 c extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 c water if using fresh pumpkin 2/3 c water if using canned
1 c chopped walnuts(optional)
1/2 c raisins(optional) (I usually use frozen cranberries instead of raisins)
Preheat the oven to 350.
Mix the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutneg, allspice and sugar in a large bowl unitl well blended. Add the eggs, water, oil, and pumpkin and mix by hand until just blended. Don't mix too long or the bread becomes tough. Add nuts and raisins (if wanted) and mix into mixture by hand.
Pour into lightly greased and floured bread pans. (do not fill more than 3/4 way) I use the little aluminium ones from Walmart with a light coat of olive oil and the floured. Bake for about an hour and 15 minutes. Bread is done when toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool in pan about 15 minutes. Transfer to rack to finish cooling.
These freeze well and so does any left over fresh pumpkin.
On a side note, for bread I never use the pie pumpkins, I always use the ones you carve. One good size pumpkin should give you enough fresh pumpkin for 15-20 loaves, depending on size.
