With the upcoming autumn, the first pumpkins appear on the market, which makes many of us think of our favorite childhood pumpkin desserts. It is no coincidence that the pumpkin is called the Queen of Plants. It is low in calories, but on the other hand it is rich in vitamins and minerals, which are preserved for a long time due to its thick bark.
Pumpkin is rich in potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper and cobalt. It contains large amounts of vitamin B and vitamin I and is even superior in content to vitamin A (carotene) carrots. That's why it's a great idea to diversify your menu with delicious pumpkin dishes.
Preparing boiled pumpkin is a quick and easy way to delight your family with a delicious dessert. First you need to clean the pumpkin from the seeds, peel the skin and cut it into small pieces. Then pour 1 cup of water over the pumpkin and bring it to a boiling point.
Boiling a pumpkin in a regular pot takes about 25-30 minutes, while in a pressure cooker it will be ready in 5-7 minutes after it starts making noise. Do not go overboard with the amount of water, because a lot of water is contained in the pumpkin itself.
From the already boiled pumpkin you can prepare boiled pumpkin with milk, pumpkin custard or you can just sprinkle it with powdered sugar or a trickle of honey, season it with cinnamon and garnish it with walnuts.
