edit Preparation

Step 1

Remove top from pumpkin, jack-o-lantern style. Scoop out seeds and strings, leaving hollowed shell to stuff. Oil skin lightly, if you like. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in wok or large skillet and saute celery and leek until limp. Add garlic and continue cooking. Next add mushrooms and saute until done, about 5 minutes. Add tofu and heat through. Add wild rice, bread and cranberries or currants and stir to mix. Coarsely chop hazelnuts and add to mixture.

Step 3

Add seasonings and optional ingredients as you choose. Mix together, preferably with your hands. Add more stock or use eggs if you like a moister dressing; skip the eggs or use less stock if you prefer a drier one. Stuff into pumpkin and bake at 350 degrees for about one and one half hours, until stuffing is heated through to the center and pumpkin is fork tender.
