Trini pumpkin recipe

A classic pumpkin talkari recipe for cooking pumpkin as done in Trinidad and Tobago and the rest of the Caribbean, including Guyana. This unique vegetarian dish is very simple to make and it's one of the most tasty pumpkin recipes you'll ever make for your family.

In my recipe below, cubes of pumpkin are sautéed with the simplest of ingredients; olive oil, garlic, onion and the optional hot pepper. It's steamed until tender, then mashed to a smooth, pate-like consistency. Roasted ground geera (cumin) is also added at the end of cooking to highlight the flavor of the pumpkin. (Mummy swears by the addition of a little brown sugar).

This vegan curry pumpkin recipe is full of Caribbean flavor. A perfect low-carb showstopper recipe. Sweetness balances the savory spices.

It was soo good even my daughter who claims she doesn't eat pork was fighting for the leftovers!
