Pumpkin with meat is a very bright, aromatic and truly homemade dish. The peculiarity of this particular recipe is the addition of sour cream, it is what binds all the ingredients together and makes the meat with pumpkin so tasty. My husband, despite his dislike for pumpkin, devoured this dish with great pleasure and constantly praised it.

Compound:

• Meat (beef, veal or pork) – 600 g
• Pumpkin – 400 g
• Potatoes – 5-6 pcs.
• Carrots – 1 pc.
• Onion – 1 pc.
• Sour cream – 200 g
• Fresh herbs (coriander or parsley) – 1 bunch
• Ground black pepper - to taste
• Salt - to taste

Preparation:

Let's start cooking by preparing the ingredients. Peel the onions and carrots. Grate the carrots and cut the onion into cubes.

Wash the pumpkin, peel and cut into large cubes. You can use frozen pumpkin.

Peel the potatoes too and cut them into cubes. Rinse the sliced ​​potatoes under cold running water to remove excess starch.

Rinse the meat, dry and cut into cubes. For cooking, use meat that has been removed from the refrigerator in advance, so it will cook more evenly and be juicier.

The products are prepared, you can proceed directly to preparing the dish. Heat a little odorless vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onions and carrots in it for 10 minutes. The vegetables should be slightly browned.

Increase the heat to maximum and add the meat to the fried vegetables. Fry the meat while stirring for 5 minutes, then add a glass of hot boiled water to the pan, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat. I used beef and simmered it for 40 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients. If you use veal or pork, the cooking time needs to be reduced. If the water boils away quickly, add a little more.

Then add the pumpkin and potatoes to the pan and simmer the stew for another 20 minutes. The total cooking time for the meat in my case was 1 hour, vary this time depending on the type and quality of the meat.

5 minutes before the end of cooking, add sour cream to the pan. To prevent sour cream from curdling, first mix it with 3-4 tbsp. spoons of hot boiled water.

Add salt, pepper, mix everything carefully and at the very end of cooking add finely chopped fresh herbs.

Mix everything again and remove from heat.

The beef and pumpkin is ready, serve it hot in large bowls. When serving, sprinkle the pumpkin stew with chopped fresh herbs.

Bon appetit!

Cut the pumpkin pulp into large pieces (with sides approximately 3x3 cm).



Cut the peeled onion into thin half rings.



Cut the meat into large portions.



Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the meat and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Turn the heat to medium, fry the meat until the color changes (it will become light).



Pour half a glass of water or broth into the pan and let the liquid boil. Reduce heat and simmer the meat covered for 20 minutes. As the liquid evaporates, add water or broth.



The meat should be soft at the end of cooking. Now you need to increase the heat, evaporate the liquid and lightly brown the pieces of meat. Place the onion in the frying pan and fry it until transparent.



Add pumpkin, salt meat and vegetables. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat until the pumpkin is soft. Depending on the type of pumpkin, it will take 5-10 minutes to cook.



While the meat is simmering with vegetables, prepare the green peas. Boil water in a saucepan. Pour frozen peas into boiling water. Leave for a minute.



After a minute, remove the peas with a slotted spoon (or drain the water in a colander) and place the peas in ice water. Leave for a few minutes.



When the pumpkin becomes soft, add green peas to the frying pan, stir everything and keep on low heat for another 2-3 minutes. Ready meat can be served as an independent dish.
