MAIN COURSES
Remove top of pumpkin by cutting a circle (6 inches in diameter) around stem with a small,
sharp knife. Scrape out and discard seeds and any loose fibres from inside pumpkin with a spoon (including
top of pumpkin; do not discard top), then sprinkle flesh with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Put pumpkin in a large roasting pan. Stuff and roast pumpkin: Pour 1-1/2 cups sauce into pumpkin and cover with top, then brush all over with remaining Tbsp
oil. Roast 1 hour. While pumpkin roasts, heat vegan butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until
foam subsides, then sauté chopped shallots until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and begin to give off liquid, about 8 minutes. Add wheat gluten and 1/2 tsp thyme, then stir in 1 1/2 cups more sauce and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and fold in roasted root vegetables and peppers, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp
pepper. After pumpkin has roasted 1 hour, spoon vegetable filling into it, then cover with top. Roast until pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork, vegetables are tender, and filling is hot,
about 30 minutes more. Transfer pumpkin to a platter using 2 sturdy metal spatulas. Stir together fennel fronds, parsley, zest, and remaining 1/2 tsp thyme and sprinkle half of it over
filling. Stir remainder into remaining sauce and serve sauce on the side.
