For the pumpkin strudel , quarter the pumpkin, peel, deseed, finely grate, and season with salt. If you're using a Hokkaido pumpkin for the strudel, you can skip the peeling.
-
Then roast the pumpkin seeds (without oil) in a non-stick pan, remove them and let them cool.
-
Now peel the onion and garlic, chop finely and sauté in a pan with butter.
-
Squeeze the grated pumpkin through a kitchen towel or with your hands and add it to the pan - sauté on low heat - stirring frequently.
-
Then finely chop the parsley and add it to the pumpkin mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and caraway seeds, then let it cool.
-
Separate the eggs. Whisk together the curd cheese, sour cream, egg yolks, roasted pumpkin seeds, flour, and the cooled pumpkin mixture. Season generously with salt and nutmeg.
-
Beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff and fold them into the mixture.
-
Melt the butter in a small pan and preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat).
-
Then spread the melted butter on one strudel sheet and place a second sheet on top and spread with butter again - so that 2 strudel sheets lie on top of each other.
-
Place half of the pumpkin mixture on one side of the dough, fold in the sides, and roll up the strudel. Brush with butter.
-
Proceed with the second strudel in the same way as with the first and bake for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
