 Pumpkins like this brings back sweet memories of me growing up. I always crave this kind of dish when I was feeling under the weather with a cold or something. Therefore, when I ate mashed pumpkin (Calabaza) with butter or olive oil, it gave me the soothing feeling that no medication can give to anyone. Smile. Today, I am making a simple vegetable side dish to go with any meal of your choice, even though, this pumpkin can be used to make a long list of dishes, including desserts. Category: Side Dish Approx. Prep and Cook Time: 20 Minutes or less Approximate Cost: $3.27 or .82 cents per serving Difficulty Level: Easy Allergens, Other: Gluten Free and Vegetarian Servings: 4 Ingredients 3 lb. Hard Skin ($2.07) ¼ c. Extra Virgin Olive Oil ($1.20) Directions Wash the pumpkin well, cut into about 2” pieces. (keep the skin if you prefer, is edible. I peeled mine off this time.) In a saucepan with water to cover the pumpkin pieces, bring the water to a boil and cook until tender. About 4 to 5 minutes. Drain immediately, plate and drizzle with olive oil to taste. Enjoy!
