Pumpkin goes well with other vegetables, they complement each other perfectly, and thanks to the addition of spices and garlic, the taste and aroma are excellent.

• zucchini – 1 pc.
• potatoes – 3 pcs.
• bell pepper – 1 pc.
• garlic – 3 cloves
• ground black pepper, wig
• salt - a pinch
• vegetable oil
• greens - optional

Preparation:

For stewed vegetables, you can use any container with a thick bottom. An ordinary frying pan or other utensils will do; you can do this at your discretion. I will cook in my usual cauldron.

All vegetables need to be peeled, washed and cut in the usual way for you - into strips or cubes, just make sure that the pumpkin is cut a little larger than the other ingredients so that it does not boil over during the stewing process.

Pour vegetable oil into a container and put it on the stove, put carrots and onions there and fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then add the zucchini and potatoes, mix everything and simmer under the lid over low heat for another 10 minutes.

The zucchini will give juice, thanks to which our vegetables will begin to stew in their own juice. If suddenly there is not enough juice, pour in a little water. Next we have bell peppers and pumpkin, add some salt, add spices and continue to simmer the vegetables until soft.

This will take from 15 to 25 minutes. I almost forgot, I also added one squash, you can add tomatoes - whatever you want.

At the end, for taste, add garlic and herbs passed through a press. Stewed pumpkin with vegetables is very tender, so mix it very carefully. The aroma of this dish is amazing.
