Canned pumpkin

[reader99]

I have a 15 ounce can of "Golden Pie Pumpkin", which I assume is just pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

What can I do with it that doesn't involve dairy or wheat?

Thanks!

Lots of people feed pumpkin to their dogs now that have health issues.

Pumpkin soup?

Pumpkin/tofu cheesecake?

gluten free pumpkin pancakes?

Pumpkin "Milk" shake? (your choice of "Milk")

Gluten free pumpkin pie. (not sure if that actually qualifies as wheat free as I haven't tried the gluten free products.)

Flax seed Pumpkin muffins?

I haven't really gone into exploring too many gluten free recipes...I just try to limit my wheat. Cheese is a downfall for me.

Well if you have a dog, I would keep it on hand. Pumpkin pulp is GREAT for alleviating constipation or diarrhea in dogs.

Pumpkin curries!

There was an amazing hole-in-the-wall Afghani restaurant near where I used to work, and they had an incredible assortment of pumpkin soups, pumpkin stuffings for dumplings, pumpkin curries, and all sorts of other good stuff.

mmm... pumpkin!

Put it in chili (black bean chili is excellent with winter squash in it)
Add to lentil soup, or make pumpkin-apple soup
Pumpkin pudding: sweeten with your choice of sweetener, such as maple syrup or dried apricots soaked in water and then pureed. Add in an egg or two if desired, or omit. Make creamier with nondairy milk or silken tofu. Bake.
Add it to oatmeal
Make risotto
Freeze it in an ice cube tray and use it to thicken sauces or gravies
Make pumpkin, black bean, and kale/spinach enchiladas or burritos

think of canned pumpkin as just another version of mashed winter squash or sweet potatoes......wonderful as pumpkin soup, added as a thickener in vegetable soups, pumpkin pudding made with soymilk, can substitute for half the fat in any gluten free baked goods recipe.......very versatile vegetable that we limit severely by just thinking of it as "pumpkin pie". Bae is right, and lots of Afghan, Pakistani, and/or various African cuisines make good use of pumpkin in a savory sense, while we in this country seem to see it as a dessert ingredient.

I use canned pumpkin in a casserole that started out as chicken rice casserole...leave out the chicken, use cream of shroom soup, season with sage, add some chopped celery or broccoli if you like.

Pumpkin peanut soup. If you use creamy peanut butter, it can be a very smooth lush soup.
