Stew is a multi-ingredient dish that is fried in small pieces and then stewed until tender. Pumpkin Stew is a mix of pumpkin, vegetables and, for example, pork. I used basic vegetables - potatoes, carrots and onions. You can use any others.

Simmering in a slow cooker will make the stew tender, leaving the pieces of vegetables intact, which will give the dish not only excellent taste, but also a beautiful look.

Ingredients

To cook stew in a multicooker, you will need:

• pumpkin - 500 g,
• pork - 500 g
• potatoes - 3 large (4 medium),

How to cook pumpkin stew in a slow cooker

Peel and wash all vegetables. Cut the pork into small pieces, the size does not play a special role.

Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl, turn on the frying mode and set for 10 minutes. Add the meat and sauté it while you chop the onion. Do not close the lid of the appliance in order to see the process and, if necessary, prevent the meat from roasting evenly.
Cut the onion into thin slices: finely, half or quarter rings. Add to the meat, which by this time has turned white and slightly browned in places. Continue toasting everything together, stirring occasionally.

Now it's the turn of the carrots. Do not rub it, just cut it into thin slices or halves, for example. And send it to the pot. Stir and fry further. If the time is up, run the device for another 10 minutes.

It is better to cut the pumpkin coarsely, because in this stew it is the main one. Any form, for example, straw. It also needs to be lightly fried with the rest of the products, so send it to the multicooker bowl, stir and fry while you are doing potatoes.

For a change, the potatoes were diced and sent to the others. Now you can completely focus on frying, because the abundance of food requires attention and frequent stirring. Fry for another 5 minutes.

Turn off the multicooker. Salt and pepper the stew, add your favorite spices, special for potatoes, and for piquancy - dried red pepper petals. Pour in broth or hot water. For a thinner stew, add more water to cover the vegetables and meat, and for a thinner stew, add enough water to the middle. Stir.

Set the extinguishing mode and 1 hour of time. Close the lid and go about your business.

At the signal of the multicooker, gather everyone to the table. The pumpkin stew with meat is ready and it is better to serve it hot.

How to cook from a photo step by step

To cook a stew with meat and vegetables, first you need to cut the meat into small pieces (portionwise). If you are making beef stew, it is best to cut the meat into slices and beat it lightly. Then cut into smaller pieces.

Chop the onion into rings or half rings. Take more onion - the meat stew will be tastier, and the gravy is thicker.

Heat vegetable oil in a cauldron or saucepan. Lay out the pieces of meat, fry until golden brown. Pour in half a glass of water or broth, simmer the meat, covered for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid, evaporate the remaining liquid.

Add chopped onions and carrots, cut into wedges, wedges or cubes, to the meat. Save the onion until it is translucent.

While the onions are browning, peel and dice the potatoes. Place with meat and vegetables. Stew the potatoes for 5-10 minutes without adding liquid, so that they are saturated with fat and meat aroma. Then pour in enough water so that it covers half of the potatoes. Salt, simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked.

When the potatoes are almost cooked but not tender, add the diced pumpkin to the stew. If the stew will be cooked with the addition of tomato, it must be diluted in water and poured in 5 minutes after adding the pumpkin.

Simmer stew until pumpkin is soft. 3-5 minutes before cooking, put small inflorescences of frozen broccoli and hot peppers into the meat stew. Free the pepper from the seeds (otherwise it will be very hot) and finely chop the pods with a knife. Wash your hands, board and knife immediately under cold water. Cover the stew with a lid and simmer for a few more minutes (until broccoli is done). If not using chilli peppers, season the meat stew with black pepper to taste.

The finished stew can be served as an independent dish with sour cream, yoghurt, or you can cook crumbly rice, pasta or buckwheat for it as a side dish.
