Excellent vegetarian recipe, HERCKLE (even though you end up using 3 tblsp of olive oil!!! Have you got any more where this came from? :)
I am sending this one to my mother and my daughter and my aunt... And we freeze our own pumpkin when it's in season, so we don't have to use canned stuff... - 3/19/07
