• 1 pie pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into small dice (about 2 cups)

Method

Heat the canola oil in a small stockpot until shimmering and add the onion and garlic. Stir and sauté until the onion is tender and begins to color, about 10 minutes.

Add the diced pumpkin and stir well. Continue to sauté another 5 minutes while the pumpkin begins to soften.

Add the ground pork and stir well. Cook until three-quarters of the pork is white.

Add the dried spices and the minced chipotle chile. Stir and sauté a couple minutes until the onions and pork are coated with the spices.

Add the tomatoes, cherries and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and the chili has reduced and thickened.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Meanwhile, cut the top third from the pie pumpkins and remove the seeds.

Brush the insides of the pumpkins with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bake the pumpkins and the tops on a foil-lined baking sheet for 30 minutes until tender, but not collapsed. Pumpkins may be baked the day before and re-warmed in the microwave.

Spoon the chili into the pumpkin shells and replace the pumpkin top. Serve immediately.

Frontera Grill - Chef Rick Bayless  

Guava Apple Crisp

Ingredients

Filling
 2  26-ounce jars of guavas in syrup, drained, seeded and cut in 1/2-inch pieces
3 apples (preferably MacIntosh), peeled and cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries
1/2 cup guava nectar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 Streusel Topping
 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed and slightly softened
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup toasted, salted pepitas (pumpkinseeds)
Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. The filling. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the guavas, apples, dried cherries or cranberries, guava nectar, flour and vanilla. Divide evenly among eight 4 to 5-inch individual ovenproof serving dishes.

2. The streusel topping. Place the flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly blended. Add the butter. Use a fork or back of a spoon to work the butter into the dry ingredients. Dribble in the milk and sprinkle with pepitas. Mix to combine. The mixture should hold together, but still be a little crumbly. Top each of the individual dishes of filling with about 1/2 cup of the streusel topping.

3. Finish the crisps. Bake in the lower third of the oven until the streusel topping is crisped and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, or let cool completely and reheat before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream if desired.
