This is a great dish to compliment most fall meals. With great earthy spices and aromas combined with the mild sweet flavors of the pumpkin and the bold nutty crunch of toasted pecans, this dish will definately put you in the autumn spirit. ITs simple to make and will warm you up form the inside out.

- • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- • ¼ cup white wine
- • 3 cups vegetable stock, (more or less)
- • 3 tablespoons olive oil
