My husband is from Austria and pumpkin seed oil is a culinary specialty from where he comes from. We use this amazing oil nearly everyday in our household so I’m often challenged in creating different recipes using pumpkin seed oil since we both can’t get enough of it. The response was great, we both really enjoyed this dish and I will definitely use this recipe again.
​
The reason I like this recipe because it’s requires no cooking at all, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and vegan. In addition, the pumpkin seed oil has significant fatty acids, reduces inflammation and has anti-parasitic properties. This recipe is easy, doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and has a lot of flavor. The only complaint I received from my husband is that there is not meat, but all in all he enjoyed it!
