  • Now it is the turn of the pumpkin, which we must remove the inner part where the seeds are.
    The size of the cuts does not matter, but they should not be too big. You can cook with or without skin, but if you choose with skin you have to clean very well.
    We also cut the potatoes and the carrot that are optionally used in this recipe and increase its creaminess.
