Ingredients

Pumpkin - 1 piece
Water - 8 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the pumpkin, cut it into portion-sized pieces (as shown in the photo). Remove the seeds and pulp. Rinse again.

Step 2

Pour one glass of water into a pot just enough to cover the bottom, plus a little more. Place the pumpkin pieces with the hollow side facing the water and the skin side up, but do not put the hollow side in the water; arrange them in a circle, side by side. If the pumpkin is large, place additional pieces on top of the first ones. It is important that the flesh of the pumpkin is above the water, as it will cook thanks to the steam. Cover with a lid and set on low heat. Cook until it becomes soft enough. Cooking time depends on the pumpkin, its size, variety, etc.
