"Grants a [x]-level defense boost. Simply simmer a fortified pumpkin to make this dish. A favorite in Kakariko Village."
Tough Pumpkin Stew is a piece of food in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
If Link cooks Fortified Pumpkin, Tabantha Wheat, Goat Butter and some Fresh Milk over a Cooking Pot, he will create some Tough Pumpkin Stew. Eating this will temporarily reduce the damage he takes to enemies when attacked, in addition to restoring a variable number of hearts. Cooking under a Blood Moon may increase this effect.
Adding ingredients with clashing effects will cancel the Tough effect out, leaving a plain Pumpkin Stew, or other meal. There is no benefit to doing this. Adding another "Tough" ingredient - Armoranth, Ironshroom, Armored Carp, Ironshell Crab or Armored Porgy - will still make Tough Pumpkin Stew, in spite of the added ingredient.
Unless a critical success happens - either randomly or from cooking under the Blood Moon - eating the meal with its basic recipe will grant a "low-level defense boost". Using an Armored Porgy as a fifth ingredient will grant a "mid-level defense boost", and may grant a "high-level defense boost" with a critical success.
