Ingredients

  • 1 pumpkin (2 pounds) peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup cooked California wild rice
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Oil a 7 x 9-inch baking dish. Place pumpkin cubes in a large bowl. Toss the wild rice, cheese, flour, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and nutmeg, making sure the pumpkin cubes are well coated. Top with breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until pumpkin is tender when pierced with tip of a knife and top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. If the top has not browned sufficiently, raise oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake another few minutes. Remove from oven and serve hot.
