Pumpkin dumplings are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of fall with a soft and fluffy texture. These dumplings are typically made with a mixture of pumpkin puree, flour, sugar, spices, and baking powder. They can be boiled, steamed, or fried, and are often served with a sweet sauce or topping.

This article provides recipes for three different types of pumpkin dumplings:

* **Boiled Pumpkin Dumplings:** These dumplings are made with a simple dough of pumpkin puree, flour, sugar, and baking powder. They are boiled until they float to the top of the pot, then served with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.

* **Steamed Pumpkin Dumplings:** These dumplings are made with a similar dough to the boiled dumplings, but they are steamed instead of boiled. This gives them a lighter and more delicate texture. They can be served with a variety of sauces or toppings, such as a sweet fruit sauce or a savory mushroom sauce.

* **Fried Pumpkin Dumplings:** These dumplings are made with a dough that includes mashed potatoes. This gives them a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. They are pan-fried until golden brown and served with a dipping sauce of your choice.

No matter which recipe you choose, pumpkin dumplings are a delicious and festive way to enjoy the flavors of fall.

PUMPKIN DUMPLINGS

Here is a nifty little side dish. It's inexpensive and really quite easy to prepare. Plus, they can be boiled in advance and sauteed just before serving. These little dumplings are kind of like spaetzle and would go nicely with anything grilled. You could also combine them with any number of sauces: tomato, cheese, etc. I hope you enjoy them!

Categories     side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 egg
1 cup pumpkin puree (see instructions)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Mix the egg and pumpkin puree in a bowl. With a wooden spoon beat in the flour, a little at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add nutmeg and beat several times to incorporate.
  • Bring a large, deep pot of salted water to a boil. Take a wooden cutting board or any flat platter and place several tablespoons of the dough on top. Use a large chef's knife to spread the mixture over the board so that it is about 1/8 inch thick. Hold the board over the pot of water and, using the knife, slice off strips about 1/4 inch thick and about 3 inches long. (The strips will look rough at this point, but don't be discouraged: the dumplings will take shape as they hit the water.) Dip the knife in the boiling water from time to time to make the cutting easier. When the dumplings rise to the surface, let them cook another minute before removing with a slotted spoon and dropping in a bowl of ice water.
  • When all the dumplings are cooked, drain in a colander. Before serving, saute them quickly in butter and season with salt, pepper and, if desired, Parmesan cheese.

CHICKEN AND PUMPKIN WITH DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Pumpkin with Dumplings image

Asha Gomez moved to the American South from Kerala, a region of southern India. This recipe, from her book "My Two Souths: Blending the Flavors of India into a Southern Kitchen," marries Southern-style dumplings made with rice flour and Indian flavors. The dish relies on stewing the chicken, a technique common to both cultures. Although smaller, dense pie pumpkins work here, they can be stringy and have less flavor than other forms of pumpkins and hard squash. Ms. Gomez likes calabaza squash, also known as West Indian pumpkin, which has a mottled skin that can range from dark green to light orange mottled with amber. The dusty blue-gray Jarrahdale pumpkin works well, too. In both cases, you will have a lot of pumpkin meat left over to cook, purée and freeze for baking or soup. The kabocha squash, or Japanese pumpkin, which has a dull, deep-green skin with some celadon or white stripes and averages about two to three pounds, is another option.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small fryer chicken (2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cups of raw pumpkin, such as kabocha, Jarrahdale or red kuri, seeded, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, rough cut into large chunks
2 fresh bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups coconut milk
15 fresh Thai basil leaves, for garnish
2 cups rice flour
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken: Put the olive oil in a large Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid and heat on medium until the oil is hot. In a separate bowl, dredge the chicken pieces in flour. Drop the chicken into the hot oil, 2 or 3 pieces at a time. Be careful to avoid crowding. Brown for about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the chicken from the Dutch oven. Add the shallots and ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin, celery, bay leaves, thyme, turmeric and salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute; stir in the stock.
  • Return the chicken to the Dutch oven; cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the coconut milk and stir just until combined.
  • Make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, mix the rice flour, cumin seeds and salt. Gradually stir 2 cups warm water into the rice flour mixture to make a soft dough that is not sticky; the dough will have a somewhat fragile, sandy texture.
  • Form 24 1/2-inch small balls of dough with your hands or a melon baller. Make a small divot in each dumpling by pressing down in the center with your thumb (much as you would in making gnocchi or orecchiette pasta) and place on a plate or baking sheet.
  • Set a steamer basket over a medium pan containing 1 quart water. Place the dumplings in the basket, making sure they are not touching, and cover. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Steam the dumplings until they are firm and plump, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Make the final dish: Drop the dumplings into the chicken mixture, stir ever so gently to coat the dumplings with the sauce, then cover again and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Cut the basil into chiffonade, or thin ribbons. Serve in bowls with a scattering of basil.

Tips:

  • For the perfect dumplings, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Semolina flour gives the dumplings a slightly chewy texture and helps them hold their shape.
  • Make sure the water is boiling rapidly before adding the dumplings. This will help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. Add the dumplings in batches, making sure that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. They should be tender and fluffy on the inside and slightly browned on the outside.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite sauce. You can use a simple butter sauce, a savory tomato sauce, or a sweet fruit sauce.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
