I was craving something new with pumpkins and this turned out really well. I didn't have vegetable broth, so I used chicken broth instead, but it turned out great. I liked the texture of the pumpkin along with the rice and the seeds were so delicious, they were eaten before the dish was finished! - 10/31/08
