Sweet & Smoky Pumpkin Stew

10/16/2017

2 Comments

 
I LOVE pumpkin! 🎃 I'm a sucker for "Pumpkin Everything Season", when everybody is making pumpkin flavored and pumpkin scented. Pumpkin Lattes, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin lotions, pumpkin candles, pumpkin everything! Pumpkin is one of my favorite vegetables. Its amazingly versatile (hence why its used in almost everything 😉). 

I met Sufia, owner of Silly Chilly Hot Sauce, in early October 2017. After tasting all three flavors I was inspired with the possibilities of recipes. People in general are often intimidated by Hot Sauce, afraid of the burn and potential hurt. While that fear is not unreasonable, they don't know what they are missing out on. 

So to help make Silly Chilly Hot Sauce feel more accessible, I wanted to share the recipes I used the Hot Sauce in. The following recipe is one of my favorite recipes for Fall, Pumpkin Stew with Apples and Chorizo. I loved the smoothness of the pumpkin balanced with the sweetness of the apples and spiciness of the sausage. I knew the Smoky flavor of the Serrano & Chipotle Hot Sauce would give it an extra kick.

Ingredients:
Meat of 2 medium sized pumpkins *
2 Gala Apples, cored and diced
2 Spanish Onions, diced
1 TBSP Butter
1 7 oz package of Chorizo Sausage
Pumpkin Pie Spice to taste
1 or 2 TBSP of Silly Chilly Serrano & Chipotle Hot Sauce
1 32 oz box of low sodium Vegetable Broth *
Salt & Pepper to taste
Shredded Parmigiano Reggiano or Shredded Cheddar

* Substitutions & Variations:
If you don't have fresh pumpkins to roast, use two 15 oz cans of Pumpkin.
You can use Beef or Chicken Broth as well


Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Slice open your two medium pumpkins and scoop out seeds. Discard seeds. Place pumpkin with open side up in a baking dish with a ¼ inch of water and roast in oven for 1 hour or until tender. 
  3. While Pumpkins are roasting, core and dice your apples, onions and chorizo sausage.
  4. In a skillet on medium high heat, melt butter and saute diced onions until tender and slightly browned. 
  5. Once pumpkins are finished roasting, allow to cool. Scrape meat of the pumpkin from the skin. Discard pumpkin skin.
  6. Add pumpkin meat, diced apples, sauteed onions, and chorizo sausage to slow cooker. 
  7. Add broth, Silly Chilly Serrano & Chipotle Hot Sauce, salt, pepper, and pumpkin pie spice to slow cooker.
  8. Cover slow cooker and set to High for 6 hours
  9. Stir and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle Shredded Parmigiano Reggiano or Shredded Cheddar as desired. Add additional Silly Chilly Hot Sauce for more intense smoky flavor. 
  10. Let cool completely and store in refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze for future meals

Serves 4 to 6 people.
