Brutally local even in winter
Focus on the pumpkin
Pumpkin belongs in the fall? Not only 😀! Thanks to its good shelf life, it is also a local, versatile vegetable in winter. In this blog post, we show you what the s’nani crew conjures up from it. What’s more, s’Nani will tell you where their golden vegetables grow …
From the field to the plate
The pumpkin originally comes from Central and South America, but has long been native to Switzerland. Here it grows in fields, where it soaks up the sun throughout the summer before being harvested in the fall and stored as a vegetable throughout the winter. Find out right now what s’nani creates from this nutrient-rich fruit vegetable:
The starter
Waldgnuss im Kürbis
The wafer-thin slices of pumpkin are wrapped in an exciting filling of aromatic wild mushrooms and fresh parsley. The golden vegetable literally plays the leading role: with every bite you taste the diversity of the Grisons forest and discover the pumpkin from a whole new angle. 🎃
For the main course
Patgifig Burger
Speaking of which, pumpkin also goes well in a burger! In the Patgifig Burger, the s’nani kitchen team uses a juicy pumpkin patty in combination with fresh mushrooms, grilled vegetables and alpine cheese. This is a real vegetarian delight that will delight you! And a signature dish of the s’nani. Is your mouth watering already? 😋
Brutally local
Fresh pumpkin from the Grisons
Nani’s pumpkins grow on the lovingly tended fields of the Alpiger family in Rueun, Graubünden. Not far from Laax, they are nurtured with care so that they grow into tasty pumpkins. The collaboration with the Alpiger family has long since developed into a friendship. Shared values unite them: high-quality and brutally local ingredients. Just as it is a matter of course for s’nani. 🧡
