Pan-fried Pumpkin with Rosemary

Ingredients

  • 600 g of pumpkin 
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 clove of garlic 
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 
  • Equipment needed:

Instructions

  • Preparing the pumpkin:
    • Wash the pumpkin thoroughly under running water.
    • Peel it carefully, removing the outer skin.
    • Cut the pulp into uniform cubes of about 2 cm on each side, to ensure even cooking.
  • Flavouring the oil:
    • In a nonstick skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the whole garlic clove , lightly crushed, and the sprig of fresh rosemary .
    • Let it fry for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is golden and the rosemary has released its aroma.
  • Cooking the pumpkin:
    • Remove the garlic from the pan to prevent it from burning and imparting a bitter taste.
    • Add the pumpkin cubes to the flavored oil.
    • Mix well to make sure each piece is well coated in the oil.
    • Cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and lightly browned.
  • Final dressing:
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • If you like, you can add another sprig of fresh rosemary for a more intense aroma.
