• 1 tbsp with the top of the flour
• 30-40 g of butter

Method of preparation:

1. Crush the garlic and put it in a frying pan with heated oil. After 30-40 seconds, remove the garlic and add the minced meat and chopped onion to the garlic oil, mix well to avoid lumps.

4. Cut each sheet of pita bread in half. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Put 1/4 of the sheet on the bottom of the baking dish, then 1/4 of the minced meat, and 1/4 of the pumpkin, pour the sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese.

5. Cover the last layer with another part of the pita bread, lay out and repeat until the ingredients are gone.
