Pumpkin Dessert With Tahini Recipe
Pumpkin, which is a fibrous fruit, contains plenty of elements such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium and iron. Since it is sugary, it decorates the tables with its taste in Turkish cuisine and is generally consumed by making dessert. This classic dessert of the winter months is both very tasty and very practical to make. Tahini sauce and walnuts also go well on it. Bon Appetit!

Instructions:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Let the zucchini rest for at least two hours and serve it cold by garnishing it with crushed walnuts and 1/2 tea glass of tahini thinned with 1/2 tea glass of water. Bon Appetit !
-
Note: If you take the cooled zucchini on a baking tray and lightly burn it on the top shelf in the grill setting by pouring a teaspoon of sugar on it, you can catch the classic "Baked Pumpkin Dessert" taste.
