Method
- Peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into cubes of about 2 cm

- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, just to flavor the oil, being careful not to burn it
- Add the pumpkin cubes and salt to the pot
- Stir occasionally for 10 minutes, until the pumpkin starts to soften
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low
- Let it cook for 5 minutes for the pumpkin to finish softening in its own steam
