Many people prefer to boil pumpkin, as it is much easier than baking, stewing or frying.
However, it is worth considering one nuance: in most cases, the product loses almost all of its taste qualities.
To avoid this, you need to follow three simple rules.
What is their essence?
Size is extremely important
Many people understand that small pieces will be ready very quickly, so they choose exactly this size. This is a big mistake. The smaller the pumpkin pieces, the weaker the taste of the product itself.
So, cut the pumpkin large enough to fully enjoy the product.
Amount of water
Don't pour in a huge amount of water: the pumpkin will simply lose its taste in a matter of minutes. You need to follow the same rule as when boiling potatoes: take a little more liquid than the product itself.
Water temperature
Experienced cooks know that water temperature can sometimes play a decisive role in determining the taste of a dish. Therefore, it is important to remember one rule: the pumpkin is sent into boiling water.
But spices and salt can be added at your discretion. Pumpkin has a rather sweet taste, so it goes well with many spices.
