Ingredients
How many servings?
- 1 kg pumpkin
- ¾ cups (150 ml) sugar
- ¼ cups (50 ml) water
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp walnuts
Method
- Peel the pumpkin and cut it into 3–4 cm slices.
- Lay the slices in a wide pot, sprinkle with the sugar and add the water.
- Cover and simmer over low heat for about 30–35 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. If needed, remove the lid for the last 5 minutes to thicken the syrup, occasionally spooning it over the pumpkin.
- Once cool, serve drizzled with tahini and sprinkled with broken walnuts.
