Bariatric recipe for weight loss, this delicious pumpkin and cheese cake is perfect for achieving your weight loss goals. Plus, you don't need an oven to prepare it.
Chop the pumpkin into slices (circular), the onion into julienne, and use about 12 leaves of epazote.
In a saucepan previously greased with olive or vegetable oil, place a layer of pumpkin slices arranged so there are no gaps, then add 3 or 4 slices of onion, 3 leaves of epazote, salt and pepper to taste, and a layer of cheese that completely covers the pumpkin.
Repeat this step as many times as necessary (approximately 2 kilos of pumpkin yield for 4 or 5 layers of cheese).
Cover with a lid and allow the pumpkin to cook until the cheese melts and the pumpkin releases water.
Once the water from the pumpkin reaches 3/4 of the height of the pumpkin and is boiling, lower the heat to low.
Leave the pumpkin on low heat for about 10 more minutes.
Allow the pumpkin cake to cool a bit and serve.
