PUMPKIN HASH BROWNS / VEGETARIAN PUMPKIN BURGERS



Pumpkin Hash Browns / Vegetarian Pumpkin Burgers image

Found this recipe in a Weight Watches Magazine Nov/Dec 2006 edition. They called them pumpkin hash browns but they are more like pumpkin patties. The patty could also be used for a Vegetarian Burger. They recommended Weight Watchers cottage cheese but I think low fat cottage cheese would be alright. Because I don't like eggs, I used 'Egg Like' which is an egg replacer. I skipped the 'garnish step' and serve them with to tomato sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 12-15 patties

Number Of Ingredients 10

500 g butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and coarsely grated
1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 brown onion, coarsely grated
4 spring onions or 4 green shallots, trimmed and finely chopped
1 cup whole wheat flour (Known as wholemeal plain flour in Australia)
salt & pepper, to taste
olive oil flavored cooking spray
30 g baby spinach leaves
60 g low-fat ricotta, fresh

Steps:

  • Combine pumpkin, cottage cheese, eggs, brown onion, spring onions and wholemeal plain flour in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Spray with oil. Shape 1/4 cup quantities of pumpkin mixture into patties. Place around edge of pan, allowing room for them to expand. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and cook for a further 2 - 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
  • Repeat last step until remaining pumpkin mixture is complete.
  • To finish, arrange spinach on serving plates. Place two patties on each plate. Sprinkle ricotta on top and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. Look for small, sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins, which have a sweeter and more flavorful flesh than larger varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin concentrates its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Use a food processor to puree the pumpkin. This will give you a smooth and even consistency.
  • Add plenty of spices. Pumpkin burgers are a great way to use up your favorite fall spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Don't overcook the burgers. Pumpkin burgers are best cooked until they are just cooked through, otherwise they will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the burgers on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, avocado, and arugula.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin burgers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy pumpkin season. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian or vegan burger option, or you are just looking for a new way to enjoy pumpkin, these burgers are sure to please.
