Fresh Fried Pumpkin
Sweet and Sour Pumpkin

This is an Italian fried pumpkin recipe.
It's got a sweet an sour twist to it.
If you can't find fresh sugar pumpkins,
this works well with acorn squash as well.

Ingredients:
1 – 1 1/2 pounds sugar pumpkin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
kosher salt
3 tablespoons wine vinegar (red or white)
3 tablespoons white sugar
chopped fresh mint or parsley (optional)
thinly sliced garlic

Directions:
Start with two tablespoons of olive oil
in the pan and add more as needed.
Place sliced pumpkin in pan and cook,
turning a few times until cooked through.
When all the slices have been cooked,
add the vinegar and sugar to the
remaining olive oil in the pan
and heat until sugar is dissolved
and sauce thickens just a bit.
Serving the pumpkin with thinly
sliced fresh garlic and fresh
chopped mint is traditional.
