How to make meat with potatoes in pumpkin? Let's make the ingredients. Pumpkin for such a dish is better to use unsweetened varieties. But if you like the combination of sweet taste with meat and potatoes, then you can choose sweet.

My pumpkin is good, we cut the top of it like a lid, remove the flesh with seeds with a spoon or knife. The pulp from the walls of the pumpkin from the inside also needs to be cut, but not very deep to the crust, so that the pumpkin does not lose its shape during baking, the walls do not fall. Cut the flesh into small cubes.

Grease the pumpkin from the inside with vegetable oil, put it on a baking sheet with a little water and send it to the oven, heated to 180 degrees, for 30 minutes.

You can use any meat: beef as less fatty and high-calorie meat, or pork as more tender and juicy, lamb - for foodies or chicken (turkey) - as a more dietary option. I took a cut of pork. Rinse the meat, dry and cut into small cubes.

My carrots, peel and cut into small cubes.

We do the same with bulb onions. We put vegetables in a deep bowl, and send crushed pumpkin pulp there.

My potatoes, peel and cut into small cubes or pieces of chaotic shape.

In a pan, pour vegetable oil, heat it. Put the meat on the warmed oil, fry it on a high heat, constantly stirring with a spatula, until light blush. We turn off the fire.

We put the meat in a bowl with vegetables. Add salt, black ground pepper to taste. You can add some more seasoning to taste. Mix.

Remove the pumpkin from the oven and stuffe with the prepared meat and vegetable filling. Fill the contents of the pumpkin with water so that it does not reach the pumpkin slice by a couple of centimeters. If desired, water can be mixed with sour cream so that meat and vegetables are stewed in a creamy pour, the dish will turn out with a pleasant creamy taste.

We close the pumpkin with a lid and send it to the oven for about 35-40 minutes, you need to focus on the work of your oven. At the end of the roasting, if desired, the filling in the pumpkin can be sprinkled with grated cheese and finely chopped fresh herbs to produce an aromatic crust on top. Enjoy your meal!
