Pumpkiny Fritters

I got this recipe from one of my favorite cooking blogs. Possibly my favorite. I changed it very very little. Like not really at all ! Here's what I did ....

2 cups grated kent pumpkin

1/4 cup fresh herbs - I used parsley and garlic chives
a couple spring onions - chop 'em up
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil

Mix all ingredients minus the oil ... I accidentally mixed the oil in and it was fine so don't worry if you make that mistake too ! Heat the oil ... if you haven't mixed it in ! And then scoop the mixture into the pan and cook til golden brown on both sides. He said about 4 minutes each side but mine took a bit longer than that ... just watch 'em so they don't burn !

Serve with Tsatsiki ....

Fritters

My friend Toni gave me the idea for fritters.
We had these the other night when we were scrounging around,
trying to figure out what to eat because we weren't shopping
that week ! These were a great idea and so easy.

All you need is ...

1 cup self raising flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
Mix it into a batter.

... and then whatever you want to put inside. So ... I sauteed some onion, garlic, asparagus, green chili, and mustard seeds. I added some tumeric, chili powder and a bit of salt.

Mix that little sauteed mixture into the batter and then cook like pancakes.

Rory topped his with salsa.
