This gentle pumpkin stew with dill is our family favorite since childhood. Thanks to its thick consistency and the pronounced flavor of dill, even those who don’t usually seek out vegetables will like it. Prepare it for a light lunch or dinner, ideally with smoked meat, a hard-boiled egg or bacon chips.

For 4 serving

Ingredients

1 small pumpkin (approx. 800 g cleaned weight)
1 medium onion
500 ml whole milk (approx., depending on amount of pumpkin)
1 large bunch of dill (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
salt to taste

Preparation procedure

Preparing the vegetables Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and grate finely. Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.
Sautéing the onion and dill Heat a tablespoon of oil or a knob of butter in a pot. Sauté the onion until golden, add the chopped dill and briefly sauté together.
Stewing the pumpkin Add the grated pumpkin to the pot, salt it and let it simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until it softens and releases its own juices (approx. 10–15 minutes). Do not add water.
Adding the milk As soon as the juice has almost evaporated, pour in the milk. The ratio is approximately 500 ml per 800 g of pumpkin, but adjust the amount according to the desired consistency.
Preparing the thickening mixture In a small bowl, mix the plain flour with the sour cream, ground paprika and a little milk into a smooth paste.
Thickening and finishing Pour the paste into the pot with the pumpkin and milk, stir and let simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes, until the stew thickens.
Seasoning and serving Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve immediately with boiled or braised meat, a hard-boiled egg or bacon chips.
