Ingredients

For the base

• 300 g of pumpkin (can be yellow or orange)
• 150 g of white onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 200 ml of vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt to taste

For the sauce

• 100 ml of heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• Ground black pepper to taste

Utensils we will use

• Medium frying pan
• Pot for cooking the pumpkin
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Strainer
• Whisk or wooden spoon
• Mixing bowl

Preparation

1. Prepare the Beau Soleil base

1. Wash and peel the pumpkin: Wash the pumpkin under the tap and carefully peel it with a knife or peeler. Cut into regular cubes of approximately 3 cm.
2. Chop the onion and garlic: Peel and cut the onion into small cubes (~0.5 cm). Peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely.
3. Sauté the onion and garlic: Heat olive oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until golden and translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them to avoid bitterness.
4. Incorporate the pumpkin: Add the pumpkin cubes to the pan and mix with the onion and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Add the broth and cook: Pour in the vegetable broth until it barely covers the squash. Increase the heat to medium-high until it starts to boil, then reduce to medium-low. Cook covered for 20 minutes or until the squash is tender and you can easily pierce it.

2. Prepare the sauce for the final touch

1. Mix the cream with the mustard: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream with the mustard and a little ground black pepper, mixing with a whisk until the mixture is homogeneous.
2. Heat the sauce: Bring the mixture to low heat in a small pan, stirring constantly so that it does not boil or curdle.

3. To finish and serve

Once the squash is cooked, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. You can remove any bay leaves if you used homemade broth with them. Serve the squash in a deep plate and pour the creamy sauce over it, letting its Solar Glint stand out with every bite. To accompany, a portion of white rice or rustic bread will perfectly complement this preparation.
