Pumpkin Stew image

This special stew is the meal our two kids look forward to each fall because we only get to enjoy it when the fresh pumpkins come out of the garden. The stew is cooked and served right in the pumpkin shell. A true taste of autumn, it also makes a pretty presentation at a potluck. -Donna Mosher, Augusta, Montana

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out terrible. The pumpkin was mushy and the lentils were undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This stew was okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

I wasn't sure how I would like this stew, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was very flavorful and the pumpkin gave it a nice sweetness. I would definitely make this again.

This stew was delicious and very easy to make. I used canned pumpkin and it turned out great. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little extra spice.

This pumpkin stew was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a touch of sweetness from the pumpkin and a hint of spice from the ginger and cumin. The texture was also spot-on, with tender chunks of pumpkin and perfectly cooked
