Serve with a light pilsner, such as Czechvar, or with a British stout, like Samuel Smith’s Imperial Stout. If you prefer wine, a glass of Grüner Veltliner from Austria provides just enough fleshiness to accommodate the nutty sweetness of the pumpkin seeds and apple cider in this dish. Look for more fruit-driven vinifications of this white varietal, like the 2005 H.u.M. Hofer Grüner Veltliner or the 2004 Hiedler Thal.
