In the olive oil brown the beef with the onion and garlic.
Add all the remaining ingredients, except the corn, sherry and pumpkin of course.
Simmer for a 1 hour, covered.
Cut the top off the pumpkin and discard.
Scoop out the seeds and stringy membrane, and discard them as well. (You could toast the pumpkin seeds in the oven for a snack if you like, but they are not used in this recipe).
Brush the inside of the pumpkin with butter and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Stir in the stew, sherry and corn.
Bake the stew containing pumpkin at 325F for about an hour, or until the pumpkin is tender.
When serving, scoop out some pumpkin along with the stew. |
