Pumpkin is a versatile vegetable that is great for making porridges, soups, stews, purees, sauces and even homemade candied fruits. However, it is not very tasty when eaten raw, so it is usually baked or boiled before use, a process that requires time and effort. But the experts of the telegram channel “Housewife Tricks” (18+) know a quick way to cook pumpkin in just 7 minutes, without turning on the stove.
For this you only need a microwave oven. Just follow these steps:
- Cut the desired piece of pumpkin, peel and remove seeds.
- Place it in a suitable container and add a little water – about 2-3 tablespoons.
- Cover the container with cling film and make a small hole in it to allow steam to escape.
- Microwave on high for 7 minutes.
Ready! After seven minutes, the pumpkin will be soft, tender and juicy – ideal for further cooking or even eating as is. It retains its beneficial properties, acquires a sweetish taste and is easily mashed into puree.
