Kaddo Bowrani
Recipe by AbeVigoda Wikified by Drimble Wedge
Kaddo's the first thing we make when sugar pumpkins show up in stores. It's pumpkin roasted with cinnamon and sugar, paired with both a yogurt sauce and a meat sauce (typically Morningstar Crumbles here).
Pumpkin:
- One 2-2.5lb sugar pumpkin, peeled, cleaned and cut into 2" cubes
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp oil
Yogurt:
- 1 cup greek yogurt (don't use non-fat)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 tsp dried mint
- 1/4 tsp salt
Meat sauce:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium onions, diced
- 1 lb lean ground beef (or one packaged burger substitute)
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground coriander seeds
- 1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350.
Pumpkin: Heat oil in a large pan or dutch oven, brown pumpkin pieces, turning often to prevent burning. When browned (~5 minutes or so), sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, stir, and bake until tender, ~30 minutes.
While pumpkin's baking, prep sauces.
Yogurt sauce: Mix yogurt, garlic, mint and salt. Add additional salt to taste, and refrigerate.
Meat sauce: In a 10" or so skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and lightly brown onions. Add meat (or "meat"), garlic, salt & pepper. Mix well and cook until beef is browned, ~5m. Add tomato, spices, mix thoroughly and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, lower heat, and cook about 20 minutes until thick.
Plate meat sauce, top with pumpkin, drizzle with yogurt sauce.
