Preparation

 
Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat with a few teaspoons olive oil. Dust chicken in flour and sear in the hot pan. Remove and reserve.
 

Add onions, garlic and spices to the pan and sweat for 5-10 minutes. Add the tomato, pumpkin purée and browned chicken thighs to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes or so.     Add the diced pumpkin and simmer for 5 more minutes.
 
Clean the pumpkin seeds thoroughly and soak in water overnight at room temperature. Drain and let dry slightly then toss the almost-dry seeds with smoked paprika and sea salt. Dry the sliced seeds in a low oven (200°F) for a few hours until crispy and dry.
 
Finish goulash with the vinegar and herbs, and served topped with the pumpkin seeds.
