Time 50m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb sweet pumpkin, peeled, cut into 3/4 inch chunks
1 medium size onion, finely chopped
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/2 lb canned plum tomatoes, chopped into small chunks
2 teaspoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons canola oil (Iraqi's use corn oil but we are allergic to corn)
sea salt, to taste
3/4 teaspoon curry powder (I always use Iraqi Curry Powder, to taste)
1 pinch cayenne (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Put oil, onions, pepper, and spices into a large pot and sauté on medium flame until the onions are soft and golden adding the minced garlic near the end of cooking time.
  • Add tomato chunks (no liquid yet, save that for later) sauté the tomatoes a short time.
  • Add 1 cup water, including the liquid from the canned tomatoes too and the pumpkin chunks.
  • Let cook until they are slightly soft.
  • Dissolve the tomatoes paste in 1 cup water and add it into pot, together with the sea salt.
  • Cover the pot, and bring to a boil then lower flame to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Shut off flame.
  • You may remove to serving dish and serve immediately; however, the taste is better after it sits for a longer period of time. If doing that, allow to cool, then refrigerate in the same pot for a day. When reheating, use the same pot: if needed add a little bit of water, bring it to boil, and let it sit on low
  • flame for a couple of minutes. Transfer to serving dish and serve.
  • Enjoy!
