August 30, 2025 Written by Artem

Today, I am excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that I created for a cozy autumn evening at home. This recipe combines unexpected ingredients to create a dish that is both comforting and exciting.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • pumpkin puree
  • cooked quinoa
  • chopped kale
  • clove of garlic
  • cumin
  • smoked paprika
  • canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • lime, juiced
  • <li data-ingredient="Salt and pepper to taste

To prepare this dish, start by heating a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, to toast for a minute. Then, add the chopped kale and sauté until wilted. Next, stir in the pumpkin puree and cooked quinoa, mixing well to combine. Add the black beans and lime juice, stirring until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the pumpkin, quinoa, and black bean mixture in bowls. You can top it with some fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • pan
  • knife
  • chopping board
  • spatula

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g. This recipe serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 175g. One serving of this dish is approximately 250 calories.

One tip to make this dish even more delicious is to roast the pumpkin instead of using canned puree. Simply cube the pumpkin, toss it in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven until tender. This will add a depth of flavor to the dish that is truly irresistible.

I hope you try out this pumpkin, quinoa, and black bean bowl and enjoy the unique combination of flavors! Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings and make it your own. Happy cooking!
