For many, one of the most anticipated seasons is pumpkin. Pumpkin is boiled, steamed, baked, mashed. And it’s hard to believe that this vegetable was originally grown to feed livestock.

Perfectly stewed beef cheeks should melt in your mouth, just like perfectly baked sweet pumpkin. And since these products have so much in common, they will easily become friends in one plate. Namely, in risotto on a rich aromatic broth.

They say that the first pumpkin soup was made in France, then the recipe conquered Great Britain, where the dish was called “good wife soup”. And if at that time it seemed simple and homely, then over the years it acquired an exquisite flair. And additional ingredients helped in this soup. For example, red shrimps and rapana.

In China, pumpkin is a symbol of longevity and material well-being, and is also believed to ward off evil spirits. That is why the Chinese use the pot-bellied fruit in the kitchen with great enthusiasm. One of the most popular dishes is pumpkin slices fried until crispy. On top, we crumble the salted yolk, traditional for the Celestial Empire.

Closed caramel paste in the form of candies wrapped in candy wrappers is usually filled with cream cheese or vegetables. In autumn, the main character in this story should be sugar pumpkin – to fully reveal the “sweet” theme.

The spicy saltiness of fried halloumi. The delicate honeyiness of pumpkin. The pronounced sweetness of Uzbek tomatoes with a pleasant sourness. And a tart corn salad with nutty notes. The flavor composition turned out to be multifaceted, but all its components organically complement each other.

Rice, millet, couscous, corn – cereals have been combined with pumpkin pieces since time immemorial. The orange fruit also goes well with bulgur, which has been popular in our country for the last 10 years, and has been known in the Middle East for several thousand years. But we will not cook porridge, but serve it as a side dish with lamb tongues.

Mini pumpkins are not only a themed decoration for the room (not just a Jack-o’-lantern, by the way), but also an opportunity to organize an interesting presentation of the dish. So, we mold the most delicate gnocchi from the sweet orange pulp, put them in a pumpkin, pour in parmesan milk, decorate with caviar and close with a lid.

“A balm for all ills,” Pliny the Elder admired the healing properties of pumpkin. The Roman Empire is already in the past, but the respect for the red fruit among the inhabitants of the Apennines remains. You can always perform a gastronomic ode in Italian through pasta. Homemade pappardelle with beef cheeks and pieces of pumpkin baked in honey and soy sauce – that’s your refrain!

One melon is replaced by another. We are talking about melon and watermelon, which have given up their gastronomy, and the post was taken over by pumpkin. The rotation is especially noticeable in classic cheese appetizers. For example, watermelon went with feta, melon was combined with blue cheese, and pumpkin is a good partner for brie. Sweet chili and olive sauce will add piquancy to the dish.
