Mary's PUMPKIN STEW

one pumpkin chopped and peeled removing all seeds[save for roasting...[Sudanese love roasted seeds even watermelon seeds, roasted seeds are sold on the streets by Nigerian women on the way to Mecca].

INGREDIENTS

1 lb of chopped lamb or beef..[When I lived in Sudan, I used small pieces of lamb and bones left over from cooking some other dish...now I buy any beef or lamb on sale.
one large onion chopped
garlic at least one clove chopped, [I love garlic and used more]
cinnamon [1 to 2 teaspoons]
salt
oil....peanut or canola oil about one tablespoon [I don't use oil because of the meat used]
2 Tablespoons of tomato paste
2 cups of water

DIRECTIONS

sauteed onion and garlic until transparent but not brown; add meat and stir fry for a few seconds, add water bring to boil then turn to simmer; add tomato paste and

bring to boil; simmer add chopped pumpkin and simmer [add more water if needed] add cinnamon,salt... season to taste.. The dish should look like stew with potatoes.

Serve with rice and a salad..

a small bowl with shata should be on table...shata is like a Louisiana hot sauce..... mix the juice of two lemons,a little salt and hot cayenne pepper.

add small loaves of pocket bread or large slices of French Bread.
