My friend Isabel throws the best parties. She hosted an Iron Chef party, and challenged us all to bring a dish that used pumpkin pie spice. This was my answer to that challenge: a sugar pie pumpkin, stuffed with a fragrant coconut rice pilaf and baked until tender. It sliced easily into wedges, yet fell apart with the touch of a fork. This is a real autumn showstopper, equally impressive as a vegan main course or a fancy side dish.
