Meanwhile cook 200 g or 7 oz. of rice in the rice cooker, the steamer or in the pan as written on the wrapping. Heat olive oil in a non-sticking frying pan. Add chili flakes, ras el honout, salt and turmeric powder. Simmer on low heat. Chop 1 onion, 1 sweet pepper and 2 tomatoes. Simmer for some minutes. Then add the rice, 1 can of chick peas and 1 can of sweet corn. Combine all ingredients. Add chopped pumpkin seeds, pistachios, parsley and cilantro.
Stuff the pumpkin with the spicy rice. Serve the squash with salad and yogurt, for the vegan version with soy yogurt.
