(Brazilian Stewed Pumpkin)

1 lb pumpkin, seeded, peeled and cut into 1 in square pieces 
2 tablespoons cooking oil 
1 clove garlic, minced 
2 scallions, minced 
salt and pepper to taste 

Place the pumpkin, butter, garlic and scallions in a saucepan. Cook

the heat and cook until the pumpkin is fork tender. Stir the mixture
occasionally so that it does not stick. Season and cook for 3 more
