To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized pumpkin, peeled and chopped into small pieces
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon of ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup of fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds (optional)
To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped pumpkin and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add this spice mixture to the skillet and stir to coat the pumpkin and onion mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
While the pumpkin is cooking, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Once the pumpkin is tender, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Transfer the pumpkin mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Return the pumpkin puree to the skillet and add the chopped cilantro, parsley, and dill. Stir to combine and heat over low heat until the herbs are fragrant, about 5 minutes.
To serve, spoon the pumpkin satsivi into bowls and top with the toasted walnuts and pomegranate seeds (if using). This dish is best served warm and can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
