Dessert
A classic Azerbaijani pumpkin dessert, balqabaq shirini reaches a tender consistency in half an hour when cooked in a pressure cooker instead of spending hours in the oven. Pumpkin caramelized with sugar and cinnamon is served with chopped walnuts on top.
Peel the pumpkin, cut it into large cubes, and place it in the pressure cooker. Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and water.
Lock the lid and bring the pressure cooker to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts to whistle, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and wait for the pressure to release naturally before opening. Do not force it open.
Transfer the pumpkin to a serving plate, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, and serve warm or cold.
Never force the pressure cooker open. Wait for the pressure to release naturally; otherwise, hot steam can cause burns. Allergen: contains tree nuts (walnuts).
