anyone in a mood.”

Domestic Appliances Pia Umayam has an advice for anyone who wants to make this

Tasty Rice in a Pumpkin
Stray away from the usual candies and
chocolates and surprise your loved ones with something that can leave them
truly satisfied. This recipe is definitely a great and healthy twist to your
regular jack-o-lanterns.
Ingredients:
Pumpkin
150gm piece of chorizo, chopped (add more
if preferred)
100gms onion, chopped
50gms garlic, minced
2 chicken cubes
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
2 medium red bell peppers, diced
1 ½ cups of rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
Freshly cracked peppercorn
Pumpkin pulp
Nancy’s Tip:
“The secret to this recipe
lies in the preparation of the pumpkin. I recommend the Philips Rice cooker
because of its big pot and 3D heating feature that evenly distributes heat for
better cooking.”
Steaming the Pumpkin:
1. Choose a pumpkin that will fit into the pot
of your Philips Rice Cooker. Depending on your preference, you can put it whole
or as a big wedge.
2. Cover ¼ of the pumpkin with water and
steam-cook till tender. Depending on the size of the pumpkin, it should be
tender after about 20-25 minutes.
3. Remove the seeds and the pulp once pumpkin
is tender. This will make the pumpkin firmer even when fully steamed.
4. Scrape off some of the pulp and chop to add
to the stuffing later.
Pumpkin Stuffing:
1. Put all the ingredients together in the
rice cooker.
2. Cook in one cycle till rice is done.
3. Check taste and adjust seasonings.
4. Keep warm till ready to serve.

Nancy’s Tips:
“The Philips hand blender is great for
blending ingredients. Its whisk accessory is very efficient in making the dough
fluffy because of its ProMix technology that offer the best speed settings as
well as consistent and faster blending.
“Your cookies are ready once they are dry
to the touch and the edges have changed color. After leaving them on the rack
to cool, use a toothpick to carve your gingerbreads’ faces.”
You can also opt to give your guests a
refreshing drink by offering a thirst-quenching and healthy glass of pumpkin
juice. The Philips Blender is an easy and efficient kitchen partner to use for
this because of its ProBlend 5 technology that provides smooth and finely
blended results.
Umayam says, “Halloween is a great and
unique chance to bond with the kids and the kids at heart. Make your
celebration more memorable by enjoying it the spooky, fun way.”
