Fried Pumpkin RecipeOrigin: Nigeria Period: Traditional |
Ingredients
1/2 small fresh pumpkin or yellow squash 
Fried Pumpkin Preparation:Method:Remove the pumpkin's stem then cut in half and remove the seeds, bofore paring the skin with a sharp knife. Cut the flesh into 3cm cubes and place these in a pan before covering with lightly-salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the pumpkin is barely tender (about 5 minutes). Don't over-cook otherwise the pumpkin will just turn to mush. Carefully drain the pumpkin then heat the oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed frying pan until quite hot. Gently add the pumpkin cubes and fry, stirring gently, until the pumpkin pieces are golden brown and heated through. Season to taste and serve as an accompaniment or snack. |
