The usage of the black oil
Pumpkin seed oil looks very dark green. Against the light it has a red brown colour. The tasteis intensive with a little nutty flavour. Most of the time it is used as salad oil with apple cider vinegar. There are also a lot of recipes for cakes, sausage, salad, noodle salad and much more. Some of them you will see here.

Styrian pumpkin soup

Cut a small onion in thin pieces and then roast it with butter. When it is golden brown add the flesh of a yellow pumpkin, which you cut before in pieces of 20 millimetres. Then roast it for 1 minute. Give water to the soup and cook it for 10 minutes. Then take the mixer and mix everything. Add the spices - I prefer salt, pepper, a little bit chilli currypowder, 3 tbl spoons vinegar and 5 tbl spoons of pumpkin seed oil. Mix everything a second time and serve it.
For decoration add some pumpkin seeds.
