QUIBEBE CLASSICO RECIPE. QUIBEBE WINTER SQUASH RECIPE. SAVORY WINTER SQUASH WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL RECIPE

I've  started this blog  to share the  good things people  create in  arts, science, leisure, ideas, no matter where or when.

A dash of humor, a drop of beauty and lots of  creativity.

Dignity is a word that follows me  not only at the blog but my life.

Thank you for the visit

Have a great weekend!

I can't believe I'm sharing a recipe! I don't know how to cook and what I do is improvising so the kitchen for me is a kind of lab whose experiments can result in something eatable, but delicious and yummy! are words seldom heard.

If I try something new, I gave up, but occasionally I try, chances are that the thing comes up very strange as the day I tried to cook fried cauliflower according to a recipe that had flour as ingredient.

When I did put the prepared florets to fry to my surprised it started swelling and swelling and it took some time for it to stop when I heard from the living-room:


"Do you need any help?" "No! Just relax and wait." I got nervous and kept frying all the florets, garnished a plate with vegetables of different colors and arranged the thing I had just cooked.


Some food were already at the table and I entered the living room triumphantly holding the plate with the... "I hope you like it. It is a variation of fried breaded cauliflower."
When I asked another friend what went wrong she told me that I shouldn't have put flour and eggs were enough.

I did a search and found some recipes tho I don't cook with recipes because when I look at the list of ingredients I paralyze: "6 eggs? O My! This is too much!" and so on.


I love pumpkin in all different ways it is prepared but Quibebe reminds me of my grandmother who used to do it in a way I'll never have it.

Quibebe is a word that comes from Africa and means mash and puree. I found a recipe (there is a Brazilian at this blog) that is more similar to the way I do:

QUIBEBE CLASSICO WINTER SQUASH RECIPE

Quibebe clássico or Savory winter squash with garlic and olive oil

Ingredients:

olive oil

1 medium size pumpkin/winter squash, peeled,

seeds removed, cut into even size squares

3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp sugar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Approx ¾ cup of water
Fresh cilantro to garnish

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep pan. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or so. Add squash cubes, salt, pepper and sugar. Give it a good stir. Add ½ cup water then cover pan.


Cook squash on high temperature for about 10-12 minutes or until squash is soft and partially collapsed. Adjust seasoning. Remove from heat. Let cool approx. 5-10 minutes. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Transfer to a serving platter and decorate with a couple of sprigs of cilantro.

Quibebe pumpkin: for  those who dont know how to cook


Usually, the version that puree the pumpkin in a food processor, is the most used, but you can choose each according to what you're going to serve at the meal.

You can do it my way: buy pumpkin that is already cut in squares, put  the squares to cook in water

-at a pan- fry garlic, onion or both if you like; mash the pumpkins with a fork and put it at the pan and add some spices like ginger; pepper; basil; curry... your favorite spice.


It is quick and simple.  Bon appetit.
