Directions

  1. The pumpkin is cut into slices and soaked in water for 15 minutes, with half a teaspoon of salt.
  2. The apples are peeled and then cut into slices. ≈ 3 min
  3. The hot pepper seeds are kept whole. ≈ 3 min
  4. First, the apple slices are fried in oil, then the eggplant, and finally the peppers.
  5. The tomatoes are sliced and placed in a cast-iron skillet. ≈ 3 min
  6. The Tifall coating is placed on top of the oven, on the rack, and not inside.
  7. We allow the tomatoes to cook until they soften due to the heat, stirring occasionally.
  8. Once the tomatoes are softened, add a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of ground cumin, a quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a half teaspoon of spice blend, while stirring. ≈ 3 min
  9. Add the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers, gently stirring to ensure they are well submerged in the tomato juice. ≈ 3 min
  10. It is covered in aluminum foil and allowed to rest for about 15 minutes, just enough for the other vegetables to soften slightly, before being served.
