Red Pumpkin in the Oven by the Father Gabriel

Peel the small onions and put them in salt water. Pierce each one of them with a small fork in two points. Poach the chestnuts and try to peel them carefully so as they are not fallen apart. Put the onions, the chestnuts and all the other ingredients in a pan. Add two glasses of water and put the pan on heat. When it comes to a boil, for about 5-10 minutes, lower the heat and let them boil for another one and a half hour.

Remove the stalks from the flowers, wash them and leave them in a colander to strain.Saute the onions in the oil and then add the dill, parsley, rice and proportional water.Stir over medium heat for 8 minutes.
