Today’s Fall Recipe: Savory Pumpkin and Apple Stew

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a cozy and flavorful dish that perfectly captures the essence of fall. With the crisp air and colorful leaves outside, there’s nothing better than a hearty stew to warm you up from the inside out. This savory Pumpkin and Apple Stew is a delicious twist on a classic comfort food, blending the sweetness of apples with the earthiness of pumpkin for a truly unique taste experience.

Ingredients:

• 500g pumpkin, peeled and diced
• 300g apples, cored and sliced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 potatoes, chopped
• 1 liter vegetable broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• wooden spoon
• ladle

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent. Next, add the sliced carrots, chopped potatoes, and diced pumpkin to the pot, stirring to combine all the vegetables.

Pour in the vegetable broth, making sure all the vegetables are covered. Add the bay leaves and fresh thyme sprigs for extra flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Once the vegetables are cooked through, add the sliced apples to the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to soften them slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Serve the Pumpkin and Apple Stew hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh thyme for a pop of color and added aromatics.

This stew weighs approximately 2200g once cooked and serves 6 people. Each serving is around 367g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of apple cider vinegar right before serving to brighten up the flavors and add a tangy kick to the dish.
