Cut a small pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and inner flesh. Set the seeds aside in a dish.
Rub the outside of the pumpkin with butter (1 teaspoon) and place face down in a roasting pan or Pyrex baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and scoop out the pumpkin flesh.
Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee in a large skillet or stock pot over medium heat.
