Are you ready for the fall? This delicious filled pumpkin is the perfect oven dish to start the autumn season. Those who say that the weather is not following the seasons anymore are wrong. Exactly on September 21st the hot summer weather give in to fall storm and rain.
My parents have pumpkins in their garden, and they have been growing exceptionally well this year. So I took a small one home to make this filled version. Home means: I took them as a hand luggage on the plain. No worries, it is allowed to take pumpkins in your hand luggage!
On my balcony I have been growing cherry tomatoes this year. So I used the last ones for this recipe. This makes it a very homegrown recipe!

The inspiration comes from a German blog: Gaumenfreundin. If you speak German I can warmly recommend it. I am a pumpkin fan, and I make several pumpkin recipes every year.
