Stew in Pumpkin
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I use lean, young pork for this dish, but you can substitute it with other types of meat—rabbit, beef, or turkey work very well. Choose according to your preference. You can add tomato paste if you like. Since this recipe isn't classic, feel free to remove or add ingredients to suit your taste. I don't use spices, as I enjoy the natural flavor of pumpkin and meat. Check out the recipe—I'll show you how I prepare stew in pumpkin. Serve hot.
