Halama – stuffed pumpkin in Armenian style
Ingredients
1 whole 5-6 kg pumpkin
1-1.5 kg semi-cooked long-grain white rice (e.g. jasmine rice)
250 g raisins
360 g chopped apricots
150 g dried apple slices
Half a cup of honey (or less, at your discretion)
250 g butter
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Cut off the top of the pumpkin and remove the pulp and seeds, so that you end up with a sort of pot. Do not discard the top.
In a large bowl, mix half of the cooked rice with the dried fruit.
Transfer the mixture to the pumpkin, filling about halfway. Pour half of the honey and half of the melted butter over the entire rice mixture.
Again, add the rice-fruit mixture almost to the top and drizzle with the remaining honey and butter.
Cover with the pumpkin lid.
Wrap pumpkin in foil and place in oven. Cook for 1 hour. Remove foil, check for doneness. The pumpkin should be soft and brown. If needed bake more. Help yourself to a dish!
- Bon appetit!
