Pumpkin Dessert With Tahini Recipe

Pumpkin Dessert With Tahini

Pumpkin, a fiber-rich fruit, contains plenty of elements such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium and iron. Since it is sugary, it adorns the tables with its flavor in Turkish cuisine and is generally consumed as a dessert. This classic dessert of the winter months is both delicious and very easy to make. Tahini sauce and walnuts also go very well on it. Enjoy your meal!

Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 30 Min
Cook: 45 Min
Ingredients for Sweet:
Pumpkin (Stripped) 1   Kilogram
Granulated Sugar 2.5   Cup
Clove (Dry Grain) 3   Qty
Cinnamon Sticks 1   Qty
Ingredients for Service:
Tahini 1/2   Cup
Walnut 1/2   Cup
Granulated Sugar 1   Tsp (large)

Steps:

  1. Clean the skin and green parts of the zucchini and cut them into approximately 7.8 cm long and 5 cm thick slices. Pumpkin pieces should be as similar in size as possible.
  2. Drizzle granulated sugar over the zucchini you have arranged in a flat pan that you will water and cook. Cut the cinnamon stick into several pieces. Place cloves and cinnamon sticks between them and leave overnight.
  3. Take the zucchini, which are waiting and release their juice, on low heat and cook for half an hour with the lid closed, then turn them upside down and boil them until they become soft.
  4. Open the lid and check if it is cooked with a fork. If it is hard or has little water, add a tea glass of hot water and cook for another fifteen minutes and cool with the lid closed. When it cools down, take out the cinnamon pieces and cloves.
  5. Let the zucchinis rest for at least two hours, put them on a serving plate, decorate them with crushed walnuts, 1/2 tea glass of tahini diluted with 1/2 tea glass of water, and serve cold. Enjoy your meal!
  6. Note: You can get the classic "Baked Pumpkin Dessert" taste if you put the cooled pumpkins on a baking tray, drizzle a teaspoon of sugar on them and lightly burn them on the top shelf on the grill setting.
