Steps:
- Cook the pumpkin in a large pot of boiling water for 10-15 minutes, until tender, drain well, return to the pot and mash the pumpkin thoroughly.
- Remove the outer leaves from the leek, wash all the leaves thoroughly, pat with a paper towel to remove excess water and finely chop.
- Peel garlic cloves, crush and finely chop.
- Thoroughly drain the lentils.
- Finely chop the tarragon.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat, in a sauté pan, and sauté the finely chopped garlic and leek until tender.
- Transfer the garlic and leek to kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
- Mix the garlic and leek with the mashed pumpkin, lentils, flour, egg and tarragon until well combined.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat in the sauté pan.
- Add 1/4 cupfuls of the pumpkin/lentil batter to the pan and flatten with a spatula.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden. You should get 8 fritters from the batter.
- Drain the fritters on kitchen paper and, if not needed immediately, keep them warm in a 120ºC oven.
- Serve the fritters with tzatziki or your favourite vegetable chutney and a salad.
