Pumpkin burger



Today I suggest you try the appetizing and tasty PUMPKIN BURGERS! Healthy and genuine, also perfect for children. They can be prepared in a few simple steps. It is a light main course, but so good that you will lick your lips. You can decide whether to cook them in a pan, in the oven, or fried! A vegan alternative to classic burgers? Appetizing and tasty, they can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 days closed in an airtight container.

Ingredients

400 g pumpkin (cleaned)
50 g Parmigiano Reggiano
1 egg
120 g breadcrumbs
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt
Pepper
1 spring rosemary
20 g pumpkin seeds
 corn flour
breadcrumbs

Preparation

Cut the pumpkin, remove the seeds and skin, then cut it into small cubes. Sauté it in a pan with a drizzle of oil, garlic and rosemary. Add salt and pepper and cook for 10/15 minutes, or until well cooked, add a drizzle of hot water if necessary. After the cooking time, transfer it to a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the egg, grated cheese, breadcrumbs and pumpkin seeds. With your hands, take a portion and shape well into burgers, then dip them in breadcrumbs. This ingenious tool might also come in handy. Next, bread them in the cornmeal and breadcrumb mix. Heat a frying pan with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and cook your burgers for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Alternatively, you can also bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 200°C in static mode.

Tip
To make them even tastier, you can replace the pumpkin seeds with cubes of speck.
