2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh pumpkin and garlic at local food markets or produce aisles in general grocery stores; olive oil and salt are staples found in the baking or pantry sections of any local supermarket.
Preparation method
- Peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into 2 cm cubes.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves.
- Place a large pan or skillet over medium heat with the olive oil.
- Add the garlic and sauté for just 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
- Add the pumpkin cubes and salt to the pan.
- Stir the ingredients occasionally for 10 minutes until the pumpkin begins to soften.
- Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
- Cook for 5 minutes so the pumpkin finishes softening in its own steam.
- Remove the lid and continue stirring while mashing the pieces with the back of a wooden spoon until you reach your desired consistency.
- Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Observations
With its pleasantly textured finish, this mash is a practical and wholesome choice to add variety to your everyday meals.
