It is necessary
- - 3 pumpkins (preferably "Butternut" variety);
- - 6 pcs. chicken drumsticks;
- - 1 stalk of leeks;
- - 100 g of dried apricots;
- - ½ tbsp. rice;
- - 6 cloves of garlic;
- - 1-2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
- - 50-70 g of butter;
- - salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken drumsticks. In a skillet, combine vegetable oil and 30 g butter. Fry the meat in this mixture over low heat, pre-salt and pepper it. Cook the drumsticks on each side for at least 5 minutes.
Step 2
Then remove the legs from the pan and fry the chopped leeks and crushed garlic instead.
Step 3
Boil rice in salted water and add butter to it. Cut dried apricots into thin strips.
Step 4
Wash the pumpkin, cut it in half and remove the seeds. Remove the pulp from the pumpkin so that the walls are 1–2 cm thick. Put rice with chicken in the pumpkin, and put the drumsticks on top and press them a little into the rice.
Step 5
Wrap each pumpkin in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 2 hours.
