Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Cooking stewed rice with pumpkin start by preparing the necessary ingredients. Which rice is best suited? Take long-grain white rice. If you use steamed rice, then keep in mind that the cooking time and the amount of water will be changed (how much and how to cook, read on the package).
Step 2:
Wash the pumpkin, cut it. Peel and peel the seeds. Cut into small pieces. Which pumpkin is best suited? Choose a fruit with a thin skin, bright orange dense and sweet flesh.
Step 3:
Peel the garlic. Chop the cloves with a knife.
Step 4:
Pour vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature into the pan. Warm it up. How do I check if the oil is warmed up enough? Lower the wooden spatula, if bubbles have gathered around, then you can already fry garlic. Send it to the frying pan, fry for about 2 minutes with constant stirring.
Step 5:
Add chopped pumpkin to garlic. Fry together for about 5 minutes until the pumpkin slices are browned.
Step 6:
Put the pumpkin with garlic in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Rinse the rice grits several times in cold water until the water becomes clear. Now put it in a saucepan, level the surface with a spoon. Add salt and turmeric. Pour hot water 2 fingers above the rice level.
Step 7:
Cook rice with pumpkin under a lid on moderate heat until cooked (about 20-25 minutes) and the water has completely evaporated. Do not forget to mix the contents from time to time. If the water has absorbed, and the rice is still hard, pour in a little water (about 1/3 cup) and continue to simmer over low heat until the rice and pumpkin become soft.
Step 8:
Serve the finished rice with pumpkin to the table hot. Sprinkle chopped herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro) on top. Enjoy your meal!

The dish resembles vegetable pilaf. Crumbly rice, juicy and fragrant pumpkin is a great combination! You can serve it as an independent dish or as a side dish to meat.

If you like, fry the finely chopped onions first, add coarsely grated carrots to the pan. When it becomes soft, add slices of bell pepper. Then stew the vegetables with pumpkin and rice, acting according to the described recipe. If desired, a handful of raisins previously steamed in hot water can be added to the rice pan.
