Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Rinse and trim celery, setting aside the leaves, and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) long pieces. Rinse apples, peel, core and cut into slices. Cut off pumpkin stem to make a lid and scrape out the seeds and pulp with a tablespoon. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Mix spices in a small bowl. Melt butter in a saucepan and sauté onion, garlic and spice mixture, stirring. Mix everything with the celery and apples, season with lemon juice, salt and pepper and pour into the pumpkin. Place the pumpkin stem lid on top. Place the pumpkins in a large pot, pour in vegetable broth and simmer about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove pumpkin carefully and keep warm. In a saucepan, boil down the crème fraîche and broth to make a sauce, over high heat while stirring. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Chop the celery leaves finely. Mix with the parsley and add to the sauce. Serve pumpkins topped with sauce.
