Savory Pumpkin and Cheese Fritters
Table of Contents
Ingredient
For the Fritters:
500 g pumpkin (peeled and grated)
2 eggs (large)
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon salt (without a slide)
Black pepper (to taste)
1 cup oatmeal (120 g; can be rolled oats)
80 g cheese (grated; cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
20 g dill (fresh, chopped)
3 tablespoons flour (for binding)
Optional:
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Steps to Make Savory Pumpkin and Cheese Fritters
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Grate the Pumpkin: Start by peeling and grating the pumpkin using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated pumpkin in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This will help achieve a crispy fritter.
Chop the Dill: Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
Grate the Cheese: Use a grater to shred the cheese of your choice. Cheddar or mozzarella work wonderfully for this recipe.
Step 2: Combine the Mixture
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated pumpkin, eggs, sour cream, and minced garlic. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients: To the pumpkin mixture, add the salt, black pepper, oatmeal, grated cheese, chopped dill, and flour. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. The oatmeal will absorb some of the moisture and help bind the fritters.

Step 3: Form the Fritters
Shape the Fritters: Using your hands, take a spoonful of the mixture and shape it into a small patty or fritter, about 1/2 inch thick. Place them on a plate or cutting board lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into fritters.
Step 4: Cook the Fritters
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Fry the Fritters: Carefully place the fritters in the skillet, leaving some space between each one to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Presentation: Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional fresh dill or a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping. They pair well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.

Spicy Salami and Chicken Pizza with Sundried Tomato Pesto

Ingredients

For the Pizza:

• • Pizza dough: Enough to make 1 large pizza
  • Sundried tomato pesto: 1/2 cup (125 ml)
  • Spicy salami: 8-10 slices

• • Cooked shredded chicken: 1 1/2 cups (375 ml)
  • Shredded Mozzarella cheese: 2 cups (500 ml)
  • Dried basil: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)

• • Dried oregano: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
  • Cornmeal: 1/2 cup (125 ml), for dusting the pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Grated Parmesan cheese: 3/4 cup (180 ml)

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dough

1. 1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220°C (425°F) and, if you’re using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven to preheat. A pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust, but you can also use a regular baking sheet.
   2. Prepare the pizza dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it forms a large round or rectangle, depending on your preference. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness for a standard crust. If you prefer a thicker crust, roll it out a bit less.
   3. Dust with cornmeal: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cornmeal onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. The cornmeal adds a slight crunch to the crust and prevents it from sticking to the pan.

Step 2: Assemble the Pizza

1. 1. Spread the pesto: Spread 1/2 cup of sundried tomato pesto evenly across the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust. The pesto will act as the pizza’s sauce, adding a rich, tomato-forward flavor.
   2. Layer the salami and chicken: Arrange 8-10 slices of spicy salami across the pizza. Then, sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of cooked shredded chicken evenly over the salami. The combination of spicy salami and tender chicken will create a rich, savory base.
   3. Add the cheeses: Spread 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza. Then, sprinkle 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top for added depth of flavor and cheesiness.

1. Season the pizza: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon each of dried basil and oregano over the top of the cheese. These dried herbs will enhance the overall flavor with a touch of Mediterranean essence.

Step 3: Bake the Pizza

1. 1. Transfer the pizza: If you’re using a pizza stone, carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone. If using a baking sheet, place the pizza directly onto the sheet.
   2. Bake the pizza: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. For an extra-crispy crust, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, but keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

1. Rest the pizza: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to slice.
2. Slice and serve: Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the pizza into slices. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.

Cooking Tips

• • Pre-cooking the crust: If you prefer a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the pizza dough for 5-7 minutes before adding the toppings. This will help the center of the pizza cook evenly and prevent sogginess from the pesto and other toppings.

• • Pesto variations: If sundried tomato pesto isn’t available, you can substitute it with regular basil pesto or even a marinara sauce. Each sauce will bring its own unique flavor to the pizza.
  • Make it spicy: If you love extra heat, feel free to sprinkle red pepper flakes over the pizza before baking. The spicy salami already adds a kick, but red pepper flakes will intensify the spice.
  • Using pre-cooked chicken: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover cooked chicken, such as from a rotisserie chicken. If you’re starting with raw chicken, you can quickly grill or pan-fry it with some olive oil, salt, and pepper before shredding it.

• Cheese options: Mozzarella and Parmesan are a classic combination, but you can experiment with other cheeses like gouda, fontina, or pecorino for different flavor profiles.

Storage

• • Refrigeration: Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes until heated through.
  • Freezing: You can freeze leftover pizza by wrapping slices tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake directly from frozen in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes.

Cooking Tips:
