Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 minced fresh chili, like jalapeƱo or Thai, seeds removed
8 cups 1-inch cubes pumpkin flesh
1 1/2 cups chicken, beef or vegetable stock, plus more as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pound ground beef (optional)
1-14 1/2-ounce can crushed tomatoes (double if omitting the meat)
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1 cup yogurt, preferably whole-milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a pot or deep skillet that can later be covered on medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the turmeric, ginger and chili, and cook for another 2 minutes, until aromatic.
  • Add pumpkin and stock; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat to low. Cook, stirring once or twice, until pumpkin is tender, 15 to 30 minutes. Check periodically to make sure there is adequate liquid; if the pumpkin is done and the liquid is thin, remove lid and turn the heat to medium-high. Boil mixture until thick; taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add garlic. If using ground beef, add it and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and coriander and reduce heat to low; simmer until the mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine the yogurt, mint, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and stir.
  • Spoon the ground beef or tomato sauce over the pumpkin. Top with yogurt sauce and more fresh mint and serve.

PUMPKIN YOGURT



Pumpkin Yogurt image

This recipe was inspired by my attempt to increase the amount of pumpkin in my diet. I have started reading SuperFoods RX by Steven Pratt (which I highly recommend) and am learning about all of the nutritional benefits pumpkin has to offer. The challenge is that I am used to eating pumpkin in nothing but pies/cookies/sweet breads etc. I decided to try a pumpkin yogurt because yogurt is also one of Pratt's 14 super foods.
