Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 15 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients for the dish. Let's start with preparing the pumpkin. Pumpkin for such dishes should be taken unsweetened varieties. I wash the pumpkin well, dry it with a towel, cut off the top with a sharp knife like a sliver.
Step 2:
We take out the pulp with seeds with a spoon. Once again, I wash the pumpkin inside. We do not throw out the top, it will serve as a lid during baking so that meat and vegetables languish in their own juice.
Step 3:
Wash potatoes, peel and cut into cubes.
Step 4:
Meat can be used absolutely any to taste. The turkey can be called the most useful. And the cooking method and the combination of ingredients will make the dish even more useful. With such meat, the dish can be served to the table even for people with food restrictions, and for children. I have pork. The fillet is washed and cut into small pieces. It will turn out juicier, fatter and tastier.
Step 5:
Carrots are washed, cleaned, cut into small cubes, straws or circles.
Step 6:
Peel the onion and cut into cubes, feathers or halves of rings.
Step 7:
The ingredients for stuffing the pumpkin are ready. Fill the pumpkin with meat and vegetables, evenly distributing them inside. Salt and pepper to taste, if desired, you can add some more seasoning for meat. Pour in olive oil and water. Mix vegetables well with meat and spices.
Step 8:
Cover the pumpkin with a "hat". Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. The bottom of the mold should be lubricated with vegetable oil and pour a little water so that the pumpkin does not start to "burn" from below. Put the pumpkin in a mold and put it in the oven for 40 minutes. You need to focus on the operation of the oven, the size of the pumpkin and the volume of the contents. The readiness of the dish can be checked by the meat, it should be soft and tender to the taste.
Step 9:
Remove the pumpkin from the oven. While the dish is hot, we put the contents into cups, cut the flesh into pieces and serve it to the table with roast. Enjoy your meal!
