Ingredients for Stew in a pumpkin

Step by step instruction of cooking Stew in a pumpkin

Шаг 1

Prepare the first "pan": to wash outside of pumpkin, cut a lid, remove seeds, cut out pulp, leaving a wall of flesh about 1 cm.
I did use the notch Apple in the middle, very convenient :)

Шаг 2

And in the oil fry the meat cut into pieces (1x1 cm),
when the meat pieces turn white on all sides...

Шаг 3

... add the chopped pumpkin flesh and onions,
then mushrooms (small whole, large cut into 2-4 pieces) and oregano.
Stir, close the pan with a lid.

Шаг 4

As soon as the mushrooms will give the juice, add the tomato paste and flour. Mix well.

Шаг 5

Cut the peppers and diced tomato, do not forget to periodically stir the contents of the pan,
add, stir, remove from heat.

Шаг 6

Salt, pepper, add ground sweet paprika - all to taste.

Шаг 7

Pumpkin "pot" sprinkle with salt inside and put the meat with vegetables. Put on top of the cut lid.
Liquid I was added, it was enough.

The pumpkin is placed in the appropriate form and put in aerogrill (or in the oven).
In aerogrill baked it for 1.5 hours - 150*C, the speed is high.

Шаг 8

After disabling aerogrill remove the lid from the pumpkin,
spread fried sausage, mixed meat-vegetables
close the lid of the convection oven (turned off!) and leave it in the pumpkin for another 10 minutes.

Шаг 9

The photo clearly shows that the wall of the pumpkin is cooked (it shrinks).

Special side dish is not needed, it perfectly replaces the pulp from the walls of the pumpkin, soaked in the broth. Cut the pumpkin into 4-6 pieces and place on a plate a slice of pumpkin along with the stew.
From pumpkin-"pots" was only a thin skin, everything else was eaten :)
