- 3kg jap pumpkin
- 3/4 cup arborio rice
- 3/4 cup quinoa
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp mustard powder

Method
1. Half cook rice and quinoa according to packet directions.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut a small hole in the top of the pumpkin, removing the stem. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the centre of the pumpkin, removing all the seeds and fibre.
3. Rub the pumpkin in oil. Place the pumpkin over a bed of coals for a low heat. Rotate the pumpkin making sure it doesn’t burn. Half cook the pumpkin.
4. Mix the quinoa and rice together. Add all ingredients, stirring to combine the filling.
5. Pour the mixture into the pumpkin and cook in the camp oven over low heat with the lid on for a further 45 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender. Test by piercing the flesh with a skewer.
