60 minutes

Salad of stewed pumpkin, quince, and Beijing cabbage is a refined combination of tenderness and freshness. This recipe has roots in Russian cuisine, where pumpkin is traditionally used in the autumn-winter period. Quince adds a delicate sourness to the dish, while cream softens it, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Garlic adds spiciness, and Beijing cabbage refreshes the overall composition. This dish is especially suitable for serving in cold weather when one craves warming and aromatic food. Such a salad can be used as an independent dish or as an original garnish for meat and fish dishes. It is not only beautiful to look at but also rich in vitamins, making it an ideal choice for those striving for healthy eating.
