WHAT'S ON THE AFRICAN MENU? (1) ( PUMPKINS)

The African menu is serving pumpkin grown naturally from my African field with no chemicals added.The pumpkin is very easy to cook not much work is required. Although there are so many methods of serving the very nice vegetable.

Growing up my family and I used to love pumpkins served with tea. We used to place more value on the pumpkin leaves and eat them with pap, but that's a recipe for another day.Today we are looking at the beautiful pumpkin.


INGREDIENTS

1 Whole pumpkin

PREPARATION METHOD

Cut the whole pumpkin into slices and place the pumpkin slices into the pot.
Add 500ml of water into the pot
Add1/4 of sugar, sprinkle it on the pumpkin slices
place it on the stove or a food steamer for 30mintues

pumpkins have their own natural sweet taste,but if you want to serve it with other foods, such as rice and macaroni you don't have to add sugar.
Add sugar if you are going to have it the African way as a tea snack.



STAGE ONE -TAKE A WHOLE PUMPKIN

STAGE TWO- CUT IT INTO SLICES
    YOU COOK THE  PUMPKIN FOR 30 MINUTES AND SERVE IN ANY WAY YOU LIKE
STAGE THREE -SERVE THE COOKED PUMPKIN ON A NICE BED OF LETTUCE READY TO DRINK WITH TEA
