Pumpkin meat in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

   How to bake meat in a pumpkin in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Thoroughly wash the vegetables, preferably with a brush. Then dry them. If necessary, defrost the meat in advance.

Of such a size that it easily enters the oven and becomes obsessed with the baking sheet.

   Chop the garlic with a knife or pass it through a press.

   Cut off the lid from the pumpkin and take out the whole middle with the seeds with a spoon. Do not throw away the lid, but put it aside. Leave the pulp. It is advisable to select such a pumpkin so that it has a thick pulp. Even in this dish, the pumpkin is dryish, but at the same time juicy.
