Default Re: EDF Cooking Contest--Pumpkin Challenge

I'm thinking of taking a different tactic to this challenge. I really have no idea how to make pumpkin, so I thought I would share my initial thoughts and ask for input. Feel free to build upon any of these ideas for your own dishes.

Random ideas so far:

lamb with pumpkin sauce and pumpkin seeds (with some chilis for heat? or would it be good with some type of balsamic base?)

pumpkin risotto, grits, or polenta (served in a small decorative pumpkin?? Or as a side dish, possibly with lamb)

pumpkin soup (obvious choice, but I found a variety of pumpkin at the farmers market today that apparently tastes alot like butternut squash. I forget the name, but will look it up later)

More to come later when I have a chance to do a little research. Anyone have ideas for these three options?
