How to make Mini Pumpkins Stuffed with Onion, Mushrooms, and Chard

Mini Pumpkins Stuffed with Onion, Mushrooms, and Chard













INGREDIENTS

  • (10 to 12-ounce) mini pumpkins, or 2 (1 1/2-pound) acorn squash
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons 

    kosher salt, divided

  • ounces 

    fresh chanterelles or other wild mushrooms

  • medium yellow or white onion
  • 1/2 bunch 

    Swiss chard (about 4 ounces)

  • 1/2 bunch 

    fresh parsley

  • sprigs 

    fresh thyme, or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

  • ounces 

    Comté or Swiss cheese

  • tablespoons 

    olive oil, divided

  • tablespoons 

    crème fraîche or sour cream

  • 1/4 teaspoon 

    freshly ground black pepper


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.

  2. Cut the tops off 4 mini pumpkins (like a jack-o-lantern), or cut 2 acorn squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds and fibers. Place cut-side up in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the lids next to the pumpkins. Season the insides of the pumpkins with 1/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt.

  3. Trim 8 ounces wild mushrooms and cut any larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice 1 medium yellow or white onion. Strip the leaves from 1/2 bunch Swiss chard and discard the stems; stack the leaves, roll them up together, and slice crosswise into 1/4-inch wide ribbons. Strip the leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh parsley until you have 1/2 cup, then coarsely chop. Pick the leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs until you have 1/2 teaspoon (or use 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme). Grate 2 ounces Comté cheese (1 cup).

  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a 10-inch or larger cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt and sauté until soft and golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Sauté until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the onions.

  6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the Swiss chard, parsley, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Sauté until the chard is wilted, about 1 minute.

  7. Turn off the heat. Return the mushrooms and onion to the pan. Add half of the cheese, 2 tablespoons crème fraîche, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and stir to combine.

  8. Fill the pumpkins with the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until you can easily pierce the pumpkins with a knife, 30 to 35 minutes for the pumpkins, or 35 to 40 minutes for acorn squash. Top with the lids before serving.

How to prepare Menemen

 Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) Time :25 minutes Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer’s market. Be creative with this dish: Add shallots, chiles, fresh herbs or Aleppo pepper, or treat it as purists do, with only tomatoes and eggs. Cook slowly, stirring infrequently, until the eggs form billowy puffs. You can serve topped with feta cheese or lamb sausage, with any warm flatbread on the side.

Drinking Water Crisis in Rural Towns

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
