Sour Cream Rice Stuffing
from the kitchen of Katharine Miller

1 ½ tablespoons butter
1½ tablespoons oil
½ cup onions, chopped
⅓ cup celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup chopped mushrooms
¼ cup almonds, sliced
1 ½ cups cooked brown rice
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
1½ tablespoons wheat germ
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 350° F

Select a medium size pumpkin that will hold
4 cups of stuffing.

Cut off the top of the pumpkin. Scrape out seeds and stringy pulp. Brush the inside with oil and bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Make the stuffing in a large skillet with butter and oil. Sauté the onions, celery and garlic until tender. When almost done add mushrooms and almonds, stir and cook one more minute.

Remove from heat. Add the cooked rice. Mix together the sour cream, Parmesan, spices and herbs. Add to the rice mixture.

Fill the pumpkin with stuffing, replace lid and bake an additional 20 minutes.

When serving, scoop out bits of the cooked pumpkin from the shell along with the stuffing.
