Step by step cooking stewed pumpkin with meat, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the meat and dry it with a paper towel. Trim off excess fat and cut into medium sized pieces. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and send the meat to fry. Fry it over high heat until golden brown on all sides. It will seal the juice in the meat and prevent it from flowing out. Take any type of meat. If you want a more dietary meal, then use veal, turkey or poultry. For a more filling and nutritious meal, buy pork or lamb.
2. Peel the pumpkin, peel the seeds with fibers and cut into pieces the same size as the meat. Fry it in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
3. Chop the onions in half rings and fry in a skillet in oil until transparent.
4. In one skillet, combine fried meat, pumpkin and onion. Add salt, black pepper, spices and herbs to taste.
5. Pour in some water just to cover the bottom. Boil, reduce the temperature to the lowest setting, close the pan with a lid and simmer for half an hour. Do not keep on fire for longer, otherwise the pumpkin will become soft, disintegrate and turn into a puree consistency. Serve the cooked stewed pumpkin with meat on its own or with a side dish such as mashed potatoes or boiled rice.
