- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 0.5 tsp chili flakes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small cubes (around 2-3 cm pieces).
Step 2
Place the pumpkin pieces in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the pumpkin is cooking, mince the garlic cloves finely or crush them using a garlic press.
Step 5
Once the pumpkin is fully cooked, drain it well and transfer it to a large bowl.
Step 6
Mash the pumpkin using a fork or potato masher until smooth. A few small chunks are fine for added texture.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, sweet paprika, chili flakes, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to the mashed pumpkin. Mix until well combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, spices, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the pumpkin salad to a serving dish and drizzle with an additional touch of olive oil, if desired.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
