Ingredients

Instructions

Clean and peel the pumpkin and cut 2 cm pieces. Place in salted water for 2 hours. Then drain in a sieve. Place on a few sheets of kitchen paper and dry thoroughly.
Fry briefly in 6 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan, turning so that the pumpkin pieces are lightly browned on all sides. But not for too long, otherwise the pumpkin pieces will dissolve. Remove and degrease a little bit of oil on a sheet of kitchen paper.
Chop 4 cloves of garlic and fry together with 8 sage leaves in the remaining oil until the garlic has taken on some color. Deglaze with 4 teaspoons of white wine vinegar, add the pumpkin pieces and olives, cover and let simmer together for a few minutes.
Serve garnished with peppermint leaves if you like.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
