In Armenian, stuffed pumpkin is called ghapama, it is always cooked with rice, sometimes with chicken or meat, and if fasting days come, then with dried fruits and other non-fasting fillings. All the same, it turns out not a meal , but an injection of good mood: sweet pilaf, generously seasoned with dried apricots, raisins, nuts and fragrant spices, is packed into a red pumpkin head greased with honey on the inside. With the exception of the preparatory stage, ghapama does not require any active participation at all - all the contents languish inside the pumpkin, soaking in sweetness and the aromas of cinnamon and cardamom. Recipe from Sergey Navasartov, chef of the Noev Kovcheg restaurant.
