It has long been proven that healthy food can be delicious. To be convinced of this personally, it is enough to cook something from pumpkin in a slow cooker. There are many quick recipes with photos, thanks to which a delicious dish turns out to be on the table.

Delicious casserole for beginners

Children will love this dish. It is also suitable as a breakfast for people who want to switch to proper nutrition, take care of their health, or just try something new.

Ingredients:

• 150 g pumpkin;
• 100 g semolina;
• 100 g granulated sugar;
• 100 g sifted flour;
• 50 g of vegetable oil;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• 1 pinch of vanilla.

Recipe:

• We prepare the work surface in advance so that everything you need is at hand, but at the same time does not interfere with cooking. We wash the pumpkin under cold water, dry it on a towel and cut off the peel.
• We rub the vegetable on the finest grater. For convenience, you can cut it into several pieces and use a special attachment so as not to damage the skin on your fingers. Then add granulated sugar mixed with vanilla.

At the next stage, we drive in eggs and vegetable oil. Mix everything well with a spoon until smooth. You can also use a mixer, but only at the minimum speed

Pour in semolina, baking powder and wheat flour alternately. Mix everything again and set the bowl aside for 30 minutes. This time should be enough for the mass to thicken

Pour everything into a slow cooker and set the "Baking" mode for about half an hour. Cooking time can increase or decrease by about 10 minutes, depending on the power

Cool the finished cake and remove it from the thicket. The top can be smeared with fat sour cream or cream. Decorate with sweet berries

We serve casserole to the table with hot tea, coffee or your favorite juice

Unusual pilaf "For the elite"

Sometimes, in order to turn an ordinary recipe into an original dish, it is enough to add one non-standard product. The taste from this will become much softer, richer and will be remembered for a long time by every family member and invited guests.

Ingredients:

• 0.5 kg of lamb;
• 250 g of rice;
• 100 g pumpkin;
• 100 g of onions;
• 100 g carrots;
• 50 g olive oil;
• 20 g chili peppers;
• 15 g of spices for pilaf;
• 1 head of garlic;
• fresh thyme, sea salt, five pepper mix and Italian herbs are added to taste.

Recipe:

1. Immediately before cooking, pour 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil into the multicooker bowl. Then add rice - in this case, rinsing it in seven waters is optional.
2. We wash the meat under running water, dry it slightly and cut into medium slices. We shift them to the rest of the ingredients.
3. This is followed by diced carrots and hot peppers. We fill everything with spices for pilaf.
4. Chop the onions very finely, and cut the pumpkin into small cubes (you can directly with the peel). Add these products along with fresh thyme leaves to a slow cooker. Do not mix anything.
5. In the middle we put a whole onion right in the husk. But the topmost layer is still recommended to be removed and all possible dirt and sand removed. Add the remaining spices and sea salt to taste.
6. At the end, pour in a little olive oil and 3 glasses of filtered water. We turn on the "Normal" mode, without changing anything in time.

We serve the finished dish hot. Garlic can be removed or left for beauty if the pilaf is transferred to a large, deep dish.

Pumpkin pie for a good housewife

A wonderful recipe with a photo, which can also be made in an ordinary oven. But then the cooking time is likely to be different.

Ingredients:

• 300 g pumpkin;
• 7 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• 3 chicken eggs;
• 1, 5 Art. granulated sugar;
• 1, 5 Art. sifted flour;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• a pinch of salt;
• powdered sugar, vanillin, and cranberries are used for decoration.

Recipe:

In a deep bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer at the highest speed until a thick and fairly stable foam appears

• We reduce the power and gradually introduce granulated sugar. Beat the resulting mass until the crystals are partially dissolved. Add salt at the end.
• Combine flour with baking powder and add portions to the rest of the ingredients. We mix everything well and make sure that there are no lumps left.

• At the end, pour in vegetable oil and again work with a mixer for about a minute.
• We wash the pumpkin under cold water and dry it on a kitchen towel. Carefully cut off the peel, remove the seeds and fibers and rub the pulp on the finest grater.

We combine the resulting gruel with the dough

We coat the multicooker bowl with a small piece of butter. Pour the resulting composition into it and turn on the "Baking" mode for one hour

We transfer the finished pie to a beautiful dish, sprinkle with powdered sugar with vanilla if desired. As an additional decoration, cranberries or raspberries are perfect.

Fragrant pumpkin porridge with millet

You can make incredibly healthy porridge very quickly and tasty from pumpkin. It will also help you lose weight, gain strength in the morning and improve the protective functions of the immune system.

Ingredients:

• 300 ml of fresh milk;
• 300 g pumpkin without peel;
• 200 g of wheat groats;
• 200 ml of purified (filtered) water;
• 100 g butter;
• 2 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;
• a pinch of salt.

Recipe:

Before starting cooking, carefully sort out the millet and fill it with boiling water for about a quarter of an hour. We drain the water, rinse in warm water and let it dry. If this is not done, then the porridge will taste bitter

• Pour the wheat porridge into the multicooker bowl and fry for about 5 minutes with constant stirring.
• Add a little salt, pour boiling water over everything and cover with a lid until almost all the liquid is absorbed and the grains swell.
• After that, boil the milk (be sure to make sure it doesn't burn) and fill it with millet. We start the "Milk porridge / cereals" mode for half an hour.

During this time, cut the pumpkin into small cubes. In a deep bowl, fill it with granulated sugar and let it brew. Can be covered with cellophane or another plate

Open the lid of the multicooker, toss in the pumpkin and chopped butter. Gently mix everything, close it again and run the "Milk porridge / cereals" mode again for 30 minutes

Stir the finished dish before serving. If you wish, you can sprinkle the porridge with sugar (if not sweet enough) or a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Casserole with cottage cheese and pumpkin

A good way to get your child to eat an unloved vegetable is by disguising it in a delicious and highly flavorful dessert. In addition, it does not take much time to prepare it.

Ingredients:

• 300 g of cottage cheese;
• 250-300 g of peeled pumpkin;
• 100 g granulated sugar;
• 100 g semolina;
• 50 ml cream;
• 1 ripe banana;
• 1 egg;
• 0.5 tsp baking powder or slaked soda;
• powdered sugar and mint leaves are used for decoration.

Recipe:

• We lay out all the necessary products in advance and prepare the work surface so that nothing gets in the way.
• Chop the chopped pumpkin in a blender to a state of gruel or chop on the smallest grater. We remove all grains and rotten places in advance.

We also grind the banana in a blender or pass it through a meat grinder. Mix well with pumpkin

• Gradually add granulated sugar, drive in a chicken egg, baking powder, cream and semolina.
• Gently spread the cottage cheese on top and mix everything very well until maximum homogeneity. Set the bowl aside for 20-30 minutes.

We coat the multicooker bowl with oil or cover it with baking paper. Pour the present dough into it, turn on the "Baking" mode for 40 minutes. It may take a little more or less time (about 10 minutes) - it all depends on the power

• We remove the finished casserole only after it has cooled down almost completely.
• Cut the dessert into small pieces and sprinkle each with icing sugar. Also, fresh mint leaves are often used as decoration.

This dish retains its taste the next day. But the leftovers must be wrapped in plastic wrap and hidden in the refrigerator.

Now there will be no questions about what can be quickly and tasty cooked from pumpkin in a slow cooker. Each proposed recipe deserves attention and can become a signature recipe for any housewife.
