Never used pumpking, not native to where I'm at. Also love me some eggplant salad (you can look it up) . We have squash tough. If it's anything like squash, it's not going to need much cooking. The rule of thumb is: the closer a thing is to being edible raw, the less cooking it needs. That's why beans need a ton of cooking, potatoes a lot but not as much as beans, carrots just enough to make them soft.

Of course you can add those. I was just giving rough outline.

One of my favorite recipes is to boil diced squash, have the squash + liquid blended, then add salt + pepper + sour cream, and bring it to boil again (just long enough to homogenize the sour cream with rest of it). Squash cream soup.
