Argentinian Pumpkin and Cheese Fritters

이 레시피 정보

Squash and pumpkin fritters bound with a little flour and cheese are a common way Argentine home cooks use up the region's abundant zapallo (squash) harvest, especially served as a snack or light lunch alongside a simple green salad. This version keeps the batter thick enough to hold together in the pan while staying tender inside once fried. The pumpkin needs to be well-drained after steaming or roasting — excess moisture is the main reason fritter batters turn out too loose to hold their shape in the pan. A generous handful of cheese folded into the batter melts as the fritters cook, adding richness that plain pumpkin alone doesn't provide. Served hot and crisp straight from the pan with a spoonful of bright chimichurri on the side, these make a satisfying snack or light meal that showcases a very Argentine ingredient in an easy, approachable format.

조리법

1. 1

   Cook the pumpkin

   Steam or boil pumpkin cubes for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain very well and mash roughly, leaving some texture.

2. 2

   반죽을 만드세요

   Combine mashed pumpkin, cheese, eggs, flour, green onions, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix until just combined.

   Make sure the pumpkin is thoroughly drained — excess moisture is the top reason this batter turns out too loose to fry properly.

3. 3

   Make the chimichurri

   Stir together parsley, garlic, vinegar and a splash of oil for dipping. 따로 보관하십시오.

4. 4

   튀김을 튀겨주세요

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Fry 3-4 minutes per side until deeply golden.

5. 5

   물기를 빼고 서빙하세요

   Drain fritters on paper towels and serve hot with chimichurri for dipping.

저장

Refrigerate cooked fritters up to 3 days and reheat in a hot dry skillet or oven to re-crisp. Not recommended for freezing, as the texture becomes watery on thawing.
