Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the pumpkin cubes. Boil until the pumpkin is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and mash the pumpkin until smooth. Set aside.

  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, then add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.

  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Season the mushroom mixture with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the vegetable broth and simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. In a baking dish, spread a layer of the mashed pumpkin at the bottom. Top the pumpkin layer with the mushroom mixture, spreading it evenly.

  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mushroom layer, covering the entire surface.

  8. Bake the Escondidinho De Abóbora Com Cogumelos in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. Once out of the oven, let the shepherd's pie cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley.
