Instructions

1. Rinse the pumpkin, peel the skin, and lose parts with seeds. Cut the peeled pulp into small cubes.

   

2. Rinse the bell peppers, cut them lengthwise into two halves, and remove the inner part with the seeds. Cut the pulp into medium pieces.
3. Peel the carrots, rinse and grate on a coarse grater.
4. Peel the onion, rinse and cut into small cubes.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add chopped onion, and, stirring occasionally, fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.

   

6. Add the carrots and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
7. Place the chopped peppers in a skillet and, stirring occasionally, fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
8. Add pumpkin, stir, reduce heat. Cook the contents of the pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
