Ingredients to make Pumpkin and Carrot Cream:
- 400 grams of peeled pumpkin
- 2 large carrots
- 1 spring onion
- 1 tablespoon light cream cheese
- 2 pinches of paprika from the Vera
- 2 glasses of water
- Salt to taste
- 1 splash of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds
- 2 pinches of ground cumin
How to make Pumpkin and Carrot Cream:
- Peel, clean and cut the pumpkin into pieces. Do the same with the carrot and spring onion. The shape of the pieces doesn’t matter, but try to make them a similar size.
- In an express pot or a normal pot, put a splash of olive oil and fry the onion and the rest of the vegetables over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir to prevent the onion from burning.
- After 3 minutes, add the cumin and paprika and stir immediately so it doesn’t burn. If necessary, you can turn off or lower the heat to a minimum.
- Pour the water to cook everything together and cover the pressure cooker. Cook it for 15 minutes. If you are preparing it without a pressure cooker, leave it for 30 minutes so that the cabbage does not get hard.
- Once you have cooked the pumpkin and the rest of the vegetables, add the cream cheese and mash forming a fine and thick cream.
- Serve your warm pumpkin and carrot cream, accompanied by grilled meat or fish. You can add some sliced almonds to enjoy a crispy touch in each spoonful.
- Trick: You can also decorate your homemade cream with coriander leaves.
