Description

Super easy, super tasty.

Ingredients

  • chunk of desired pumpkin
  • some cashew nuts (probably around 50-100gms)
  • grated carrot
  • either a couple of leaves of silverbeet, half a bunch of fresh spinnach, or half a block of frozen spinnach
  • an egg, or two if your mixture does not bind well
  • some breadcrumbs - as much as it takes to make the mixture not too tacky
  • basil, oregano, parsely, or whatever you like to taste
  • a teaspoon or two of whole-grain mustard
  • oil, for frying

Instructions

Any other things that you may particularly like, e.g. Pavlina suggested some mushrooms.

Roast, boil or steam (depending on your dietry requirements - roasting
is most tasty I think) chunks of pumpkin.

Either VERY lightly mash the pumpkin, or dice it into cubes exactly
1cmX1.2cm.

Place the pumpkin in a nice-looking bowl, and add the green leaves (no silly
business, please). If you are using fresh leaves, they should probably have
a few minutes steaming, so that they are nice and tender.

Roughly crush and add the cashew nuts. Add one fresh, free-range egg. Fold all the ingredients together. Encourage them blend happily.

Add some of your favourite herbies, and salt and pepper if you are that way inclined.

Add some breadcumbs, until the mixture looks like it might consider being able to form into ball-shapes (about the size of a squash ball. I think - I haven't played squash for a long time). Maybe a little bigger - G..

You can then roll the perfectly even balls in some extra breadcrumbs, so as to give the burgers a crusty outside.

Get the fat nice and hot in a frypan, and fry the little burgers 'till they are nice and evenly brown (or you could use the BBQ).

Eat with bread (grilled), salad, sauce, cheese, or whatever else you want.

P.S. If the burgers do not work out, it either means that your cooking needs
a bit more practice, or that I have accidentally left something essential out of the recipe. Let The Eatery know if you have any suggestions).
