A little taste of nostalgia… 🎃❤️
When I was a little girl, my mom’s friend Naldo used to make the simplest rice and pumpkin dish. Nothing fancy, no spices that I remember… probably just rice, pumpkin, salt, water, and a little lard. But oh, how I loved it! ❤️
Well, my hubby brought home this gorgeous, almost 5-pound kabocha squash, and that childhood memory came rushing back!
So today, I’m recreating that rice… but of course, I can’t resist adding my own little twist! 😂👩🍳 Sautéed onions, garlic, toasted cumin seeds, crushed green cardamom, and olive oil, all coming together with fluffy white rice and sweet chunks of kabocha squash.
Here’s to childhood memories, old recipes, and new kitchen adventures! ❤️🎃
Stay tuned for the finished dish! 👩🍳✨
