- Stand the ripe pumpkin on its base and cut it in half for easier handling, then scoop out the stringy membranes and all the seeds. Peel off the skin, rinse the flesh with cold water, and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut off the amount you need for this dish and dice it into small cubes. Save the rest for another recipe, or wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment and refrigerate. 2. Put the pumpkin cubes in a steamer and steam until soft, about 20 minutes. No steamer? Use the steam setting on a multicooker, or just simmer the pumpkin in a regular pot of water. The key is to cook it until it's soft enough to mash easily. Once it's tender, purée it in a blender or food processor until smooth — or simply mash it with a potato masher or fork. 3. In a pot of the right size, combine the rolled oats and the pumpkin purée. Pour in the milk and water and stir everything together well. Add the sugar and salt for balance. Set the pot over low heat and cook the pumpkin oatmeal to a loose, pourable consistency, stirring now and then so it doesn't catch on the bottom. Serve the oatmeal warm or hot. For extra sweetness, stir in a little honey and a pat of butter — it makes the porridge even silkier! Once it's portioned into bowls, garnish to taste: try nuts, fresh berries, and pieces of fruit, or just a sprinkle of cinnamon, which pairs beautifully with pumpkin. Enjoy!
