#SundaySupper Rice and Fig Mini Pumpkins

I’m so excited to say, “FALL IS HERE!” And believe me, I love it! Jumping in the leaves, pumpkin picking, colors of the trees, making comfort food and finally being outside to play! This weeks #SundaySupper theme is “All Things Orange,” don’t you just love that sound? I hear orange I think Fall! Fall! Fall! I have to give a big THANK YOU shout out to The Meltaways for hosting such a great event!

So far this year we picked apples,

went on a hayride,

and picked pumpkins!

Also in celebration of Fall, I have made a lot of comforting dishes already! Wahoo! This week I present to you Rice and Fig in Mini Pumpkins. So…you don’t have to be too observant to notice that I didn’t use a mini pumpkin. You can use small pumpkins too! It’s a bowl of deliciousness or you can eat the fig mixture by itself. I promise, it still taste good!

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked brown rice
6 oz figs
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons agave (more to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons toasted chopped pecans
1 pumpkin (under 1/2 pounds) or 2 mini pumpkins

Recipe:

Step 1: Combine figs, vinegar, juice, agave and vanilla extract in a sauce pan over high heat. Bring to boil then simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes until sauce becomes thick

Step 2: Add rice and pecans and stir to combine.

This mixture alone is perfect for a side dish or it can also stand alone! The flavors give it a sweet yet balanced flavor. Or you can always jazzy her up and give her a spooky treat! You know, put the mixture in a pumpkin!

Here’s the following steps:

Step 1: Cut the top off and clean out the inside of the pumpkin leaving nothing behind.

Step 2: In a steamer, place a piece of parchment paper and cut some holes. You need the steam to run through. Place the pumpkin in the steamer and cover. Steam for 40 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.

Step 3: Fill it with rice mixture and serve!
