Ajo Porro y Auyama [Esp/Eng]

Saludos comunidad #Plantpower(Vegan)

Greetings #Plantpower(Vegan) community

The daily food is a necessity of the human being to have energy so that your body can perform the activities that you propose. There has always been a space in the media to provide guidance on foods that provide protein, minerals and vitamins.

With the passing of the years, food trends have been presenting variations in relation to the consumption of these foods.

In these times we live in today and with the food technology in the world, everyone decides how to eat and what trend to follow. Some for health reasons, others because they like it and feel that they help the environment, in the case of vegans they protect the animal kingdom. The truth of all this is that in foods such as vegetables we find a lot of vitamins and minerals.

With the choice of vegetables and roots you can prepare so many combinations of food that you can not get bored with the consumption of them. In this case I refer to the pumpkin and its versatility in the kitchen.

The idea is to create, to combine ingredients provided by nature to give those tastes and smells when cooking and eating them.

-1/2 kilo de auyama
-1 tallo de ajo porro, solo la parte blanca (tambièn se le conoce como puerro)
-2 dientes de ajo
-1/4 de cebolla
-1/2 cucharadita de sal
-3 cucharadas de aceite de oliva (puede ser otro de origen vegetal)
-3 tazas de agua

The pumpkin cream, most people know it and prepare it with few ingredients, this time it is presented in a very simple way with ingredients that we usually have at home. They are:

-1/2 kilo of pumpkin
-1 garlic stalk, only the white part (also known as leek)
-2 cloves of garlic
-1/4 onion
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-3 tablespoons of olive oil (it can be another vegetable oil)
-3 cups of water

The garlic is cut, as well as the onion and the garlic. The pumpkin is cut into small pieces. All measured, the spoonfuls of oil are taken to the pot where everything is going to be cooked.

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, the garlic and the onion finely cut. When it is ready, add the water to the sauce, stir and leave it for a while so that everything comes together and the water takes the flavor.

Proceed to take the pumpkin, previously salt the pumpkin before taking it to the water with the seasonings used.

Se deja hervir hasta que la auyama estè blanda.

Let it boil until the pumpkin is soft.

All the content is taken to the blender. It is processed in it until it becomes a cream.

Once the cream is ready, proceed to serve, garnish with dried oregano to give it more scent (you can also use sesame or chia, in this case oregano was used).

It is always good to make use of seasonal foods, because of their low cost (as they say in popular slang, taking advantage of the harvest), to create different recipes, both sweet and savory.
