 Having bought two pumpkins at the farmers market on saturday, of which we used only half for this lovely stew, I had to ofcourse come up with other things to make! Luckily Jo from Foodjunkie (she has fabulous recipes at her blog, so you should really check it out!) came to the rescue with her...

YOU MADE IT! I baked another one today as I prepared a pumpkin dish and had left over roast pumpkin. I’d like more cheese in it too, but I prefer to add it later in the sandwich [Reply]

I need to start cooking with pumpkin pretty soon. I am seeing all these lovely recipes and I can smell them in my mind. I just love pumpkin. Great recipe! [Reply]

Pumpkin focaccia, looks terrific…pumpkins everywhere and I still haven’t started to use them [Reply] 
Trissa - October 21, 2009 - 21:25
Simone, what a great idea to put pumpkin in the focaccia. I would love to try this one day – and by the way, as usual, your pics are gorgeous! [Reply]

Wow pumpkin in focaccia, gorgeous! Gives it really nice colour. [Reply] 
Soma - October 22, 2009 - 00:34
When I come here, I just drink in your pictures & get intoxicated. what a beautiful color! ( I see the tomato basil pasta at the header which you had mentioned. ) [Reply] 
Joumana - October 22, 2009 - 01:28
What an unusual and delicious recipe! I am definitely trying it out when I get leftover from my second pumpkin! [Reply] 
Reeni - October 22, 2009 - 03:09
This is such a unique focaccia! It sounds really delicious with all those Fall flavors. Gizmo is so cute! [Reply] 
Hannah - October 22, 2009 - 04:25
Great minds think alike, huh? Love your version, sounds like a great combination of flavors and textures. [Reply] 
Samantha - October 22, 2009 - 23:38
Lekker beest die Gizmo! [Reply] 
foodbin - October 24, 2009 - 02:58
i think it’s need to be more moist. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: It was really moist enough and quite perfect in structure. Maybe the photo just looks that way! [Reply]

 There is something so comforting about typical fall food. It’s the smell, the colors but above all the taste that make it so. When I read about the three ingredients for the Royal Foodie Joust I just had to participate. It’s my first time in the Joust and I am not a star in making...

oh my…this looks really good and your photos are stunning… [Reply]
FoodJunkie - October 18, 2009 - 17:48
This looks AMAZING! I love the little fondue dish you used for serving the stew. It is so cute! The joust is great fun, but I haven’t participated for quite a while. I always find one of the ingredients difficult or not appetizing, but this month was different. I think I still have time, no? [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: You still have until november 1st Jo, so you should be able to make something fun! I agree that the ingredients where really good this month… I even think they would be great to combine in a focaccia… [Reply] 
Valérie - October 18, 2009 - 19:10
Yum! As a Belgian, I can only approve of beer stew (although I sometimes use Irish beer, rather than Belgian…). This is exactly the kind of food that makes me look forward to fall and winter, even though I’m very sensitive to the cold: stews, soups, braised dishes, rich flavours… I’ve never tried cooking with pumkin either, but your pictures make it look delicious! [Reply]
Hannah - October 18, 2009 - 20:10
So I’m pretending that the beef is tempeh for my own sake, and imagining how good that would taste. The pictures are certainly tempting- Everything looks so warm, homey, and very comforting! [Reply]
Sophie - October 18, 2009 - 20:18
MMMMMMMM,…ypu never used pumpkin before,…this stew looks so hearty & so delicious!! Just real comfort food,… [Reply]

Good luck with the Joust.I think this is a wonderful combination of ingredients ….all credit to Tom of course……he=he!!!! [Reply] 
Peter G - October 19, 2009 - 03:05
I love most kinds of stews Simone and this one is fantastic! Great ingredients that are perfectly suited to one another. Stunning pics as well! [Reply]
Ben - October 19, 2009 - 16:12
Oh that looks great! And the Guinness in the background… oh yummy! Great combination. I love to cook with pumpkin and hopefully I’ll be able to participate in the Joust this month. [Reply] 
Jenn AKA The Leftover Queen - October 19, 2009 - 16:50
Wow, this looks so good! The perfect thing for these cooler days! Welcome to the Joust! Great photos too! [Reply] 
Olga - October 19, 2009 - 22:38
I don’t think I’ve ever made a stew. That beef looks so tender! [Reply] 
Angela@spinachtiger - October 20, 2009 - 05:51
I think you stand a good chance of winning with this one. Clever and looks homey and comforting. I’ve been thinking and thinking and still I’ve come up with nothing yet. The “sugar” with beer threw me. [Reply] 
Bron - October 20, 2009 - 11:36
Mmm that looks delicious and perfectly comforting Simone and I simply adore the serving bowl you chose, lovely! [Reply] 
Jamie - October 20, 2009 - 18:32
Ok, you win! This is wonderful and the flavors are gorgeous together. Yum! And yes this is so Autumny. I love pumpkin cooked with meat. Perfect! [Reply] 
Hillary - October 20, 2009 - 22:50
What a hearty stew – love all the ingredients in it! It sounds fabulous – You should submit this recipe to Recipe4Living.com! [Reply]

This sounds delicious and indeed very wintery. Maked me want to try this recipe too. [Reply]
Nurit - 1 family. friendly. food. - October 21, 2009 - 19:23
the bitter taste might the beer. [Reply] 
Karly - October 21, 2009 - 22:32
Wow! This looks and sounds amazing. I’ve never tried pumpkin in anything other than baked goods. Pumpkin in a stew. I might just have to try that! [Reply] 
liz {zested} - October 22, 2009 - 15:26
Love the colors and the textures in the top photo. What are you using for the backdrop? [Reply] 
Alan Spalding - October 23, 2009 - 14:15
The only liquid in this stew is beer. Is that right? No stock? How much pumpkin should be used? You said a medium-sized pumpkin but for those of us that don’t know what that is, can you list grams too please? Also, bayleaves and bayleave aren ‘t words. Yeah I’m being a dick but today sucks and I’m tired. I like your pictures. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Hey Alex. You are right, there is no liquid in this stew other then beer. And as for the pumpkin; I have no idea how much I used, so just use your own wisdom in deciding how much you want to have in there. And thanks for pointing me to the bay leaf mistake. [Reply] 
Peter - October 28, 2009 - 10:48
Ahhhh, I love these stews that teeter with sweet and savory. When done right, cinnamon is a great spice in savory food. [Reply] 
Laura - October 31, 2009 - 05:12
I made this tonight and it was so delicious! My home had such a wonderful fragrance. The only thing I did differently was coat the beet stew meat in a mixture of flour, pepper and salt. This thickened the gravy. I just loved all the different autumn spices infused in the beef and chunks of onion. Thanks for the great recipe. [Reply] 
Kay - November 3, 2009 - 16:07
This looks absolutely amazing. Beautiful photography as well. [Reply]
