Pumpkin-Carrot Rice Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Rice Side Dish Recipes. (Pumpkin-Carrot Rice Recipe). This was a dish my mom made. I am from the Caribbean where pumpkin is a savory vegetable. I serve this with pork chops or roasted pork and it always gets rave reviews. If I am in a hurry, I use canned carrots and mash them.
