Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Pumpkin
- 40 grams Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chives (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the pumpkin by peeling, deseeding, and cutting it into 2-inch cubes.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the pumpkin cubes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Drain the cooked pumpkin and return it to the pot. Mash thoroughly using a potato masher or a fork.
Stir in the butter, heavy cream, sautéed garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined and the mash is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the pumpkin mash to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
