Learn to make these delightful and delicious pumpkin mushroom bowls + brown rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 little pumpkin (called potimarron in French)
- 1 cup of brown rice
- 1 clove of garlic
- 3 cloves
- 3 cups of water
- Olive oil
- 100g of your favorite mushroom (we used shitake mushrooms)
- ½ tsp of paprika
- 1 tbsp of Herbs of Provence
- 1 bay leave
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Pour a dash of olive oil into a medium pan and heat on high heat.

- Push the cloves into the garlic clove. Add to the pan.
- Pour the water into the pan.
- Add bay leave, salt and pepper. Cover.
- Once it starts to boil, reduce to the lowest possible heat.
- Cook for 45 – 50 minutes, until all of the water is gone.
- Be careful not to uncover during the cooking process in order to keep all of the steam in the pot to steam the rice.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds.
- Season the pumpkin with salt, pepper and olive oil.
- Put in the oven for 40 minutes, until the pumpkin is well cooked when you can easily put a fork in the flesh.
- Pour olive oil in a frying pan and heat on medium heat.
- Add paprika and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove the garlic from the rice.
- Pour the rice into a frying pan, stir and cook for 2 – 4 minutes.
