Mashed pumpkin

A bowl of mashed pumpkin.

Mashed pumpkin is a vegetable dish made by cooking or macerating the skinless flesh (pulp) of pumpkins and then mashing, straining, grinding, or puréeing until the desired consistency is achieved. It is traditionally served as a side dish,[1] although it has many uses in cooking and baking.[2]
