 Categories: 2hot
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1    (2 to 3 pound) pumpkin or
           Banana squash
      1 c  Sugar
      1 c  Water
           Juice of 1/2 lemon
    1/2 c  Tahini
    1/2 c  Ground walnuts
 
  Seed and peel the pumpkin, then cut into rectangular chunks about
  2-inches by 3-inches. Place the pumpkin pieces in a wide heavy pan,
  sprinkle with the sugar, and cover with the water and lemon juice.
  Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 1 hour, until pumpkin flesh
  is tender, occasionally basting with the juices.
  
  Remove pan from the heat and let pumpkin cool in the liquid. Remove
  pumpkin pieces and arrange on a serving dish. Spoon the syrup from
  the pan over the pumpkin, drizzle with the tahini and sprinkle with
  the ground walnuts.
