I propose to prepare an original spicy Greek dish. The pumpkin comes out very aromatic and spicy due to garlic, dry basil and pepper. Tomato paste gives it a sour note. The pumpkin is first fried in a pan, after which it comes to readiness in the oven. Therefore, it turns out soft and juicy.

Spicy Greek pumpkin can be served as an independent dish or as a side dish for meat.

Ingredients:

  • Pumpkin - 450 gr.
  • Ground basil - 0.5 tsp
  • Tomato paste - 0.5 tablespoons
  • Salt - 0.5 tsp
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves
  • Pepper mixture - 0.5 tsp
  • Water - 2 tablespoons
