Ingredients
- 1 small pumpkin (about 1 kg with the peel)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 handful of fennel seeds (about 2-1/2 Tbsp)
- Salt to taste
- Hot red pepper flakes, optional
Directions
Clean the pumpkin and remove the peel and seeds (set aside the seeds for another use!), then cut the pumpkin into small pieces.
Take a heavy-bottomed pan and cover the bottom with extra virgin olive oil, add the garlic cloves and lightly golden.
As soon as the garlic begins to fry, add the red pepper flakes (optional), the diced pumpkin, fennel seeds and season with salt, then cover with the lid.
For an extra taste, add half a glass of good red vinegar and caramelize it.
At this point, cook the pumpkin covered for about 15 minutes on simmer, until soft when pierced with a paring knife. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Usually, during our tours here at Three Farms Island, we serve this pumpkin dish together with fresh ricotta to make delicious bruschettas.
