Tirshi

Description
Tirshi is otherwise known as pumpkin Salad. This salad is traditionally from the Sepharidic region of Morocco. It is great with couscous and makes a refreshing change to normal salad.

Ingredients

 * 1 pumpkin
 * 1/2 teaspoon paprika
 * 2 cloves garlic, crushed
 * 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 * 3 tablespoons lemon juice
 * 1/4 teaspoon salt
 * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions
Cut the pumkin in half and place skin side up on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

When the pumpkin is ready, separate pulp from skin and seeds and mash pulp into a smooth puree.

Mix the puree with remaining ingredients in a large bowl or blender, depending on the consistency you want. Make sure the ingredients are well blended. Refrigerate the mixture until it is ready to be served.
