Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

directions
Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat and saute the shallots until they have softened. Scrape them into the insert of a slow cooker.
(OR, if your microwave oven is large enough to hold the slow cooker insert, place the oil and shallots in the insert, cover with the inverted lid or a flat plate, and place the insert in the microwave. Cook on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the shallots have softened).
Place the remaining ingredients, including the 3 tablespoons of oil, in a 2 1/2 qt slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the vegetables are soft but not mushy.
Serve with corn chips. The salsa can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
