Let the stew simmer for at least 15 minutes, longer if necessary. The majority of the pumpkin pieces should gradually boil up, if necessary help a little with the wooden spoon and chop up the pumpkin pieces. As a result, the dish gradually takes on the consistency of a stew. If necessary, add more stock if necessary. Season to taste with salt.
The stew is served with a dollop of crème fraîche. You can also eat the dish with rice as a side dish, then the stew is served in a bed of rice.
