Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and put over medium heat.
Add the onions, season with salt, to taste, then cover the pot and let the onions wilt and get very soft, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove the lid and cook until they get very brown and caramelized, do NOT rush this. Cook low and slow, about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When the onions are really brown and sweet, add the pumpkin, garam masala and crushed red pepper. Season with salt, to taste, then add 1 cup of stock. Cover and cook over medium heat until the pumpkin has softened and started to become mushy, about 20 minutes.
Remove the lid and if the pumpkin is still a little hard add the remaining 1/2 cup of stock. Cook, stirring frequently, until the moisture reduces and the pumpkin becomes the consistency of mashed potatoes. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
Transfer the pumpkin to a serving bowl and garnish with chives and pumpkin seeds.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Antipasti can be paired with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. One wine you could try is Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.
Famille Vincent Cremant de Bourgogne
From the Chardonnay grapes this sparkler allies freshness, body, and smoothness. The Cremant Brut is dry and offers fine bubbles (1.5 Million/30 minutes - we counted them but you do not have to believe me for this!), hints of flowers at the nose, crisp and fruity on the palate. It is a great Classic for all festive occasions.
