Where to find ingredients
Locate ingredients at local markets or grocery stores in the vegetable section for fresh pumpkin, garlic, cooking oils, and salt.
Preparation method
- Peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into roughly 2 cm cubes
- Minutely chop the garlic cloves
- Place a large pan or skillet over medium heat with the olive oil
- Sauté the garlic for 1 minute just to scent the oil, careful not to burn it
- Add the pumpkin cubes and salt to the pan
- Stir occasionally for 10 minutes, until the pumpkin begins to soften
- Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to the minimum
- Let it cook for 5 minutes so the pumpkin finishes softening in its own steam
- Remove the lid and continue to stir while mashing the pieces with the back of a wooden spoon, until reaching your preferred texture
- Turn off the heat and serve immediately
