Stuffed Christophene

3 large christophenes
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon curry powder or 1 hot red or green pepper, chopped
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
salt
freshly ground pepper
Butter
Grated cheese

Boil the whole christophenes in salted water until tender, about
30 minutes.  Cut in halves lengthwise.  Scoop out pulp and mash.
Reserve shells.

Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the onion, garlic, and ground
meat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add the curry powder
or pepper and fry for a few minutes longer.  Add the tomatoes and
the mashed christophene pulp.  Cook, stirring, until the ingredients
are well blended and the mixture is fairly dry.  Season well with
salt and pepper, pack into shells, dot with butter, sprinkle with
grated cheese and bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes.  Serves 6.
