Ingredients
1
1/2 cups cooked black beans (or one can, rinsed and drained)
1/2
cup corn, fresh or frozen
1
medium onion, finely chopped
1/2
bell pepper, finely chopped
1
tsp ancho chili powder (or other mild chili powder)
1/8
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder (to taste)
15
ounces canned tomatoes, drained and liquid reserved*
1
pound pumpkin (about 1/2 one small pumpkin) or any winter squash (butternut, acorn, etc.)
3/4
cup soymilk or other non-dairy milk
1/2
cup nutritional yeast
Directions
1.
In a large bowl, combine the black beans with the next 8 ingredients and set aside.
2.
Cut the pumpkin in half. Set aside one half for another use and peel the other half. Cut it into very thin slices about 1/4-inch thick and 2 inches long.
3.
Preheat oven to 425F. Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with canola oil. Lay one-third of the pumpkin slices in the bottom of the dish, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover with half of the bean mixture. Repeat layers with another third of the pumpkin and the remainder of the beans. Finish with the final third of the pumpkin slices.
4.
In a blender, combine the reserved *tomato liquid (about 1/2 cup) with the soymilk and remaining ingredients. Blend well and pour over the pumpkin. Cover tightly, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for 20-30 minutes, until sauce is thick and bubbly and pumpkin is tender.
