SQUASH PATTIES



Squash Patties image

These fried squash patties are a nice summer side dish and are very similar to potato patties.

Provided by Donna Brown

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c grated squash
1/2 onion, grated (or finely chopped green onions with tops)
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp each of salt and black pepper
1/4 c plus 2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Mix squash, onion, sugar, salt and pepper and place in colander to drain. The salt and sugar will draw the moisture out of the squash. You want most of the moisture out of the squash, so you may leave in the colander for a while or squeeze mixture with your hands to remove as much of the liquid as possible. Place squash mixture in bowl and add flour and eggs. Mix well. Place extra virgin olive oil plus a small amount of canola oil in a frying pan and heat. (The canola oil will keep the olive oil from burning as olive will get very hot and burn quickly.) Form squash mixture into patties and fry until done and browned.

DELICATA SQUASH BURGER PATTIES



Delicata Squash Burger Patties image

Hey vegetarians! I came up with a scrumptious way to eat burgers. And this weird striped little squash. I'm not a vegetarian anymore, but I still make it often because it's so good! Serve in burgers, or by itself with a side of green salad, rice or potatoes. This also makes for a wonderful ravioli stuffing.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash. For this recipe, it is best to use a firm squash that will hold its shape when cooked, such as butternut squash, acorn squash, or kabocha squash.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender. You can do this by roasting, steaming, or boiling the squash. If you are roasting the squash, be sure to toss it with some oil and salt before roasting to help it brown.
  • Mash the squash until it is smooth. You can use a potato masher or a food processor to do this. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the squash, or it will become too mushy.
  • Add your desired seasonings and ingredients. This is where you can get creative and add your own personal touch to the patties. Some common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Form the patties and cook them. You can cook the patties in a pan with some oil, or you can bake them in the oven. If you are baking the patties, be sure to preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before baking.

Conclusion:

Squash patties are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover squash. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these tasty patties at home. So next time you have some squash on hand, give this recipe a try!
