We are all used to cooking meat roast with potatoes. But if you replace the usual potatoes with pumpkin, then the dish can surprise the family and all the eaters. Pumpkin in a company with meat, acquires a completely unusual, new and special taste. This is a rather bright and unusual dish, attractive and very healthy. After all, many have heard about the benefits of the properties of pumpkin, while few have any idea in what form they want to see it on their table. Combining a vegetable in one dish with meat is a great option, especially for those who have had a fruitful year for this vegetable. If you have a couple of pumpkins left over, I suggest you cook stewed pork with it.
Although, if you wish, you can diversify the recipe. Especially if you don't want to make extra mashed potatoes. Then you can add a few tubers to the ingredients. The dish will turn out with an equally excellent taste. In addition, the dish is perfect for cooking in pots, both portioned and in one large cauldron. Then you will save time altogether, you will not have to stand at the stove and monitor the progress of cooking. However, let's move on to a step-by-step recipe with photos and master it in practice.

Step-by-step recipe for roast pork with pumpkin:
1. Peel the meat from film and fat. Rinse under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Then cut into slices about 3 cm in size. For the pumpkin, proceed as follows: peel it from the hard skin, cut the fiber inside and clean out the seeds. Then cut into cubes about the size of meat. Peel the onion with garlic and cut into strips. Note that instead of pork, any other type of meat is suitable: beef, chicken, veal, etc. Then it will soften and it will be easy to cut it off.
2. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well. Add the pieces of meat and turn on a high heat. Fry it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. At the same time, make sure that it does not burn.
3. Simultaneously in another pan or after roasting the meat, prepare the pumpkin. Place in a heated skillet and brown on each side to brown.
4. Then sauté the onions and garlic until transparent.
5. Combine all food in a large heavy-bottomed skillet.
6. Season them with salt and ground pepper. Also add your favorite spices and herbs. I preferred to use dried basil and parsley.
7. Pour 100 grams of drinking water into a frying pan and bring to a boil. Stir, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes. Serve the finished dish hot with your favorite side dish.
