Persian-Style Pumpkin Stew
Soheila
"Are you looking for a new taste of a pumpkin dish? Here it is! This is a Persian sweet and sour stew that my grandma used to cook with fried beef patties instead of beef stew pieces; that one was wonderful too. This stew is served with cooked rice."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Eight 2-inch cubes of pumkin is enough for 4 servings, but you can add more if you like.
- I like to substitute yellow squash for the pumpkin. If you like more tasty stew you can add more sugar or vinegar.
