Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the pumpkin, removing the tough skin and seeds, then slice it thinly. Simmer it for half an hour over low heat in a mixture of water, sugar, and vinegar. Remove the simmered pumpkin from the heat and drain any remaining broth.

Step 2

Slice the pork into thin pieces and marinate for half an hour in oil mixed with a pinch of chicory, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Place the marinated pork in a baking dish, then layer with pumpkin and finely chopped red pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with grated cheese, and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
