Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Line a tray with baking paper. Drizzle the inside of each pumpkin half with oil. Place pumpkins flesh-side-up on tray. Cook in the oven for 1 hr 20 min, or until tender.
2.Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 2 min. Add mince, breaking up lumps, and cook for 5 min. Add soup mix, rice and curry powder, and stir to combine. Add 1¼ cups water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 20 min, stirring occasionally until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
3.Remove pumpkin from the oven and scoop out flesh, leaving a 1cm border. Stir pumpkin flesh through mince and spoon back into the pumpkin skin. Sprinkle with feta and black pepper. Return to the oven for 10 min. Garnish with herbs. Serve with steamed greens.
