Pumpkin is a vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, making it a powerful antioxidant. It also contains folic acid, an element that plays a role in the health of our nervous system. Additionally, it is high in fiber, which supports the proper functioning of the intestinal tract.
We can also make use of pumpkin seeds, which are rich in omega-3 and cucurbitacin, a compound that helps prevent prostate cancer. It is recommended to eat them raw to preserve their beneficial properties.
Here are the steps for the Bacon Pumpkin recipe:
Peel the pumpkin, cut it into medium-sized pieces, and place it in a pot. Cover it with water and add salt to taste. Let it boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain it and set it aside in a serving dish.
In the skillet, add the bacon and let it brown. Allow it to render all its fat. Once it is crispy or cooked to your liking, pour it over the squash you set aside earlier.
Sprinkle with pepper and oregano to taste. Serve hot.
