Ingredients
1 kg butternut squash
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh butternut squash, garlic, and pantry staples like olive oil and salt at local markets or grocery stores in the fresh produce and dry goods aisles.
Preparation method
- Peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into cubes about 2 cm in size.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves.
- Place a large pot or frying pan over medium heat with the olive oil.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute just to infuse the oil, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the pumpkin cubes and the 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 low.
- Let it 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 a pleasantly coarse texture, this mash is a practical and healthy alternative to spice up your everyday meals.
