Halve leek lengthwise, rinse, trim and cut crosswise into approximately 1/2-inch wide rings.
Rinse, trim and set aside the fennel leaves. Cut fennel bulb in half, quarter and cut crosswise into thin strips.
Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices.
Heat oil in a pot. Sauté pumpkin, potatoes, garlic and mustard seeds briefly over medium heat.
