  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    Let's prepare the ingredients for the pumpkin miracle. Let's start by preparing unleavened dough, almost like for dumplings or chebureki. Pour the sifted wheat flour into a bowl and add a teaspoon of salt. Pour in clean cold water, mix the mass until a smooth, elastic and obedient dough is obtained.

  2. STEP 2

    Let the dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes, covering it with a napkin on top.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    In the meantime, prepare the filling. Wash the pumpkin, remove the peel and seeds. Finely chop the pulp with a knife or grate it. You can use pumpkin harvested during the harvest season and frozen for future use. If it was frozen in large pieces, defrost it and chop it.

  4. STEP 4

    We remove the shells from the walnuts, wash them, dry them in the microwave, and grind them into crumbs using a blender.

    Peel the onions and chop them finely.

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the cooked onions on the heated oil. Fry it, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until transparent.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Add the pumpkin to the frying pan with the onions. Stir and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Place the vegetable mass in a bowl, add chopped walnuts to it, add ground black pepper and salt to taste. You can add a pinch of sugar if you wish, but the pumpkin is sweet enough for this dish.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Divide the dough into two parts, one slightly larger than the other.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    Roll out most of it into a thin circle. Place the filling on it, leaving the edges free.

  10. STEP 10

    STEP 10

    Roll out the second part of the dough into a thin circle.

  11. STEP 11

    STEP 11

    Cover the dough with the filling with this circle. We pinch the edges. We transfer the miracle workpiece into the mold (there is no need to grease the bottom of the mold with oil), make several punctures on top with a fork so that steam escapes during baking.

  12. STEP 12

    STEP 12

    If desired, the top of the miracle can be brushed with beaten chicken egg or milk. Bake at 210 degrees for about 15 minutes. Remove the miracle from the oven, brush with melted butter and serve immediately. Bon appetit!

I tried the miracle with meat, but I didn’t do it with pumpkin. I'll try, thanks.
