Pumpkin Chili Mexicana

1 pound ground beef or turkey ¾ cup chopped onion ½ cup diced, each: red
and green bell peppers 1 garlic clove, minced 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced
tomatoes, including liquid 1 (15-ounce) can each: pumpkin, tomato sauce
and kidney beans, drained

1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies ½ cup frozen or fresh corn kernels 1
tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon each: ground cumin and salt ½
teaspoon freshly
ground black pepper

Crumble ground beef in a dishwasher-safe hard-plastic colander suspended
over a 3- to 4-quart casserole. Sprinkle onion, red and green bell
peppers and garlic
over meat. Stirring midway through cooking, microwave on high 7 minutes.
Discard grease and place meat mixture in same casserole.

Add tomatoes, pumpkin, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chilies, corn, chili
powder, cumin, salt and pepper; stir to blend. Cover with lid or vented
plastic wrap and
microwave on high 8 minutes. Stir, cover and microwave on medium (50
percent) 12 minutes. Makes 10 servings, each: 216 calories.

Serving Suggestion: Accompany with grated Cheddar cheese, diced green
onion and sour cream.

Curried Pumpkin Soup

1 cup chopped onion 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon margarine 1½
teaspoons curry powder ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

3 cups chicken broth 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin 1 (12-ounce) can skim
evaporated milk

Place onion, garlic and margarine in a 2-quart glass measure or
casserole. Cover with vented plastic wrap or lid; microwave on high 3
minutes. Stir in curry
powder, salt and pepper; microwave on high 1 minute.

Blend in broth and pumpkin; cover and microwave on high 10 minutes. Stir
in milk. Pour half of soup into a blender and purée until smooth. Repeat
with remaining
soup. Makes 8 (scant 1 cup) servings, each: 83 calories.

Pumpkin Pecan Flan

¼ cup water 1 cup sugar, divided 1/3 cup toasted pecans 1 (12-ounce) can
skim evaporated milk 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon orange
zest (thinnest colored part of peel only)

¼ teaspoon each: nutmeg and salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 large
eggs, beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin

To caramelize sugar, pour water into a 4-cup glass measure. Add ½ cup
sugar and stir well to dissolve. Without stirring mixture or stopping
the oven, microwave
on high 5½ to 6½ minutes, or until sugar mixture is amber colored (if
you microwave the mixture too long, it will turn very dark and burn).

Immediately pour caramelized sugar mixture into a round 1½-quart glass
casserole, tilting to coat casserole bottom only. (Set glass measuring
cup on a heat-proof
surface to cool completely before soaking in hot water for cleaning.)

Sprinkle pecans over caramelized sugar. Set casserole aside until
caramelized sugar cools and hardens. Meanwhile, pour evaporated milk
into a 2-quart glass
measure. Microwave on high 3 minutes, or until milk just begins to boil.
Using a whisk, blend in remaining ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, zest, nutmeg,
salt, vanilla and
eggs. Blend in pumpkin.

Pour mixture into prepared casserole and cover with wax paper. Rotating
as needed, microwave on medium (50 percent) 13 minutes, or until center
is almost set.
Cool and refrigerate.

To serve, unmold on a rimmed platter. Cut into wedges and slide wedges
onto dessert plates. Spoon sugar syrup over top. Makes 6 servings, each:
