Hello!
Pumpkin is one of the healthiest vegetables, from which you can prepare many wonderful dishes. It contains simply a huge amount of useful substances. That’s why it’s recommended to give it to children. Pumpkin is an almost waste-free product, so both the pulp and the seeds can be used. Various porridges and desserts are prepared from the pulp. Oil is, in turn, extracted from the seeds. In ancient times, even the hard peel was used to make dishes from it. People simply scraped out all the pulp and got a convenient bowl. At the same time, it was necessary to dry it.
Pumpkin is good for making juice as it has antioxidant properties. Therefore, this wonderful vegetable improves immunity. I myself love to cook something tasty, I often make porridge. But today we’ll talk a little about other recipes. I suggest you get acquainted with them.

Using a tablespoon, pour the honey syrup over the pumpkin pieces. Then we put it in the oven. And bake for 20-30 minutes.

Cooking baked pumpkin in the oven
1. Peel the pumpkin, but if the fruits are young, you can leave them with the peel. Afterwards, wash it, dry it and cut it into pieces about 1 cm thick. Do not chop them too finely, otherwise they will quickly dry out, burn and become dry.
2. Wash the orange under running water, dry it, cut it in half and squeeze out the juice. To extract the maximum amount of juice, make several punctures in the citrus pulp with a sharp knife.
3. Now combine orange juice, honey and cinnamon. If honey causes allergic reactions, then replace it with sugar, jam or preserves.
4. Mix the products well so that they are evenly distributed. If the honey is thick, you can first melt it a little in a water bath.
5. Place the pumpkin on a baking sheet greased with butter.
6. Pour the prepared sweet sauce over each pumpkin piece.
Pumpkin or "Orange Watermelon" is a vegetable that causes mixed reactions. They either love and eat pumpkin with pleasure in all its forms, or they can’t stand it at all.

When I came to visit my grandmother during the autumn holidays, she always treated me to steamed pumpkin. It would seem that there is nothing tastier than a sweet, fragrant, yellow pumpkin like autumn leaves. And now I will be happy to cook pumpkin.

Pumpkin with meat in the oven
And pumpkin with meat is just a fairy tale. I had never eaten such a dish before, but somehow this recipe caught my eye. I decided to experiment. This is simply a real delicacy; pumpkin gives the meat an original taste. And the delicate texture of the pumpkin is very pleasant to the taste. Try it, you will like it. And with this recipe you will pleasantly surprise your loved ones. What you will need for the recipe:
- Pumpkin - medium
- Meat - 350 gr.
- Carrots - 1 pc.
- Onion - 1 pc.
- Tomato - 1 pc.
- Garlic - 3 cloves
- Bell pepper - 2 pcs.
- Vegetable oil - for frying
- Bay leaf
- Salt, pepper - to taste
This is not a very simple recipe for cooking pumpkin in the oven, and you don’t need 2 or 3 ingredients. But you will not only be satisfied with the result, but you will also want to repeat it.
For the recipe, you need to take a pumpkin that is not quite large, so that it fits in the oven. Try to choose a flat, round shape.
Now you need to free it from the insides. Do this in any way convenient for you. Personally, I do this. I retreat 2 cm from the edge of the wall and cut around the circumference with a knife. Next I scrape everything out with a knife. You should be able to do it just like me.
We've made the baking pot, let's start preparing the vegetables.
All vegetables need to be cut into slices. Focus on a size of approximately 1-1.5 cm on the side, and 2-2.5 cm on the meat side. There shouldn't be any problems with this. Which meat to choose, decide for yourself, take your favorite. I cook with pork neck.
Now heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and first fry the meat until half cooked. Then add the rest of the vegetables.
In order not to waste time while the meat is frying, I will fry the vegetables in a separate frying pan. I send onions and carrots first. Fry until golden brown and add bell pepper, tomato and garlic.
Garlic can be squeezed through a garlic press, or chopped finely or not very finely. I add whole cloves. Here, as you like more, you can even increase the amount of garlic.
When all the products are semi-prepared, you can combine them into one frying pan. And now you can add salt and pepper to taste and add bay leaf.
Stir and wait another 2 minutes.
Now the most interesting and beautiful part of this recipe is that we will stuff the pumpkin with meat and vegetable filling.
To prevent the pumpkin from burning on the outside when baking in the oven, grease the walls with vegetable oil.
If you are using lean meat, you can pour a little water inside the pumpkin, so there will be more juice and the taste will become brighter.
That's it, cover with a cap and put in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 1 hour 20 minutes.
You can monitor the readiness of the dish by looking at the outer wall of the pumpkin. When it becomes soft, the dish is ready.
Look how beautiful it is, how many colors it is, and what a aroma it costs. I am sure this recipe will become your favorite and you will cook it more than once.
