    Title: Drunken Pumpkin Chili Cooked In Oregon Beer
    Categories: Chili
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 1/2 lb Pie pumpkin or sugar pumpkin
    2 tb Olive oil
    1 lg Onion; diced
    1 lg Carrot; cut into matchsticks
    2 tb Paprika
    1 tb Chili powder
    1 tb Ground cumin
    One can; (15 oz) kidney
    -beans, drained
    One can; (15 oz) pinto
    -beans, drained
    Half a can; (7.5 oz) sweet
    -corn, drained
    Two cans; (14 oz ea) diced
    -tomato
    1 tb Tomato paste
    One can; (12 oz) beer (pale
    -or medium lager)
    2 c Meatless crumbles
    1 c Shredded pepper jack cheese

    Pre heat oven to 375 F

    Using a sharp knife, cut the pumpkin in half. Using a spoon, scoop
    out the seeds and membrane. Place the pumpkin halves on a cookie
    sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side down. Bake in a 375 F oven
    for 15 minutes or just until the pumpkin is soft enough to peel the
    skin away.

    When the pumpkin is done, remove from oven. Wait for it to cool
    enough to handle it. Peel the skin, and discard. Also discard the
    stem end of the pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin into 1 inch cubes. You
    should have about 3 cups of cubed pumpkin.

    In a large pot, heat the oil and add the diced onion. Cook on medium
    heat till the onion is soft. Then add the carrots, paprika, chili
    powder, and cumin. Stir for about 30 seconds.

    Add the kidney beans, pinto beans, sweet corn, and tomatoes, tomato
    paste, beer, the baked and peeled pumpkin, and salt to the pot. Bring
    to a boil, while stirring. When the chili boils, reduce the heat and
    simmer for 15 minutes or till the pumpkin is soft.

    If the chili gets too thick, add 1-2 cups water.

    When the pumpkin is soft, stir in the meatless crumbles and cook just
    untill the crumbles are heated through. If using frozen crumbles,
    make sure they get completely heated.

    Taste and adjust for salt. At this point if you like, you can add 1
    tablespoon of sugar to the chili for some sweetness or 2 tablespoons
    lime juice for some tang. Both are optional.

    Serve drunken pumpkin chili with sprinkled cheese on top and tortilla
    chips or brown rice.
