This vegan pumpkin stew with kale - baby kale - is a nice surprise. Not just for the taste buds, also for the eye! With this fun Asian twist, we dare say: you haven't eaten a stew like this very often before. Do something different with that kale! David shows you how!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin stew with an Asian twist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A stew where we substitute potatoes for rice. No gravy but soy sauce. No Dutch seasoning, but a homemade paste with chilli, ginger, cloves and kemiri nuts, among others... Perhaps stamppot is not quite the right name for this dish, but the kale and smashed pumpkin do have a hint of stamppot. So anyway, this meal cannot really be pigeonholed. But what I do know: the result is so festive and flavourful that this is also a perfect dish for when you have dinner guests over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin stew with kale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you already know that pumpkin and kale go well together? That is true for almost all seasonal vegetables that grow simultaneously in one region, by the way. Now you also know why tomatoes, aubergine and courgette are such a good combo. Well, so this also applies to \u2018our\u2019 seasonal vegetables. You can combine these well together as I did with this vegan pumpkin stew with kale. To be honest: Dutch stew is not my favourite meal, so when I found baby kale in a vegetable box from Boershappen, I had to think hard about what to make with it. At least not a Dutch stew, I knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, a recipe by Jamie Oliver<\/a> inspiration. He has already discovered that pumpkin and kale are a good combo. I gave it my own twist by making my own boemboe with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making your own paste <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A boemboe is a spice paste from Indonesian cuisine, often made from spices such as garlic, onion, chilli peppers and various herbs. Making your own paste is something I enjoy doing and it gives an authentic flavour to your dishes and you have control over the ingredients. If you don't have time to make the paste yourself for this stew, you can also buy ready-made paste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A vegan pumpkin stew with baby kale. The addition of spices like chilli, ginger, cloves, kemiri nuts and, of course, the rice and soy sauce make it not a typical stew, but rather an Asian dish.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n
This vegan pumpkin stew with kale is an insanely flavourful and colourful dish that you really must try. With fresh paste and rice instead of potatoes and gravy, stew may not be quite the right name for this dish. But incredibly tasty this offbeat is!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
