Porridge in pumpkin
Description
The other day my husband and I were driving along the highway, and local farmers were selling pumpkins practically for free by the roadside. We looked at each other and decided to buy one. When we got home, the question arose—what to cook? Ordinary pumpkin porridge was already boring, and nothing original came to mind. Then, completely by accident, I came across this recipe—porridge cooked inside a pumpkin. It did take some effort, but the dish turned out to be very impressive and delicious :) It was totally worth it.

Step 1
We start the preparation by cutting off the top of the pumpkin. Remove all the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin, leaving only the pumpkin walls to form a sort of pot. The wall thickness should be about 1.5 cm. Rub the inside of the pumpkin with salt, sugar, and black pepper.
