Fried Pumpkin

Description

Perfect for the table and with drinks. I recommend choosing sweet pumpkin, even honey pumpkin, as then its combination with the spicy sauce will be more vibrant. You can make tomato sauce, salsa, or use regular mayonnaise. Serve the pumpkin already chilled. You can fry it in any vegetable oil (scented or unscented). It can be served warm or chilled.
