- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (465 g)
- Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients
- 40 g Beef, dried
- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 4 g Garlic, raw
- 0.5 g Paprika
- 100 g Potatoes, raw
- 80 g Pumpkin, raw

Method
- Soak the dried beef in water 20 minutes to soften and reduce saltiness, then drain and shred.

- Add the potato, pumpkin, and water; simmer 15-18 minutes until tender, mashing some of the vegetables to thicken slightly.
