Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pumpkin casserole in the oven? Prepare your food. The amount of pumpkin indicated is already peeled. Instead of sour cream, you can use kefir or natural yogurt. You don’t have to add raisins and nuts at all, or you can use any other dried fruits.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, fill the semolina with sour cream or any other fermented milk product. My sour cream turned out to be very thick, I had to add a little kefir. Leave the semolina to swell for 20 minutes.

Peel the pumpkin. Cut it into small pieces.

Prepare the raisins. How to steam raisins correctly? Pour hot water over the well-washed raisins and leave for 10-15 minutes. During this time it will become soft. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Dry the nuts in a dry frying pan and then chop them.

Step 7
Then puree it with a blender until it becomes a smooth puree. Beat the eggs into the pumpkin and add sugar. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.
