PUMPKIN HASH BROWNS / VEGETARIAN PUMPKIN BURGERS
Found this recipe in a Weight Watches Magazine Nov/Dec 2006 edition. They called them pumpkin hash browns but they are more like pumpkin patties. The patty could also be used for a Vegetarian Burger. They recommended Weight Watchers cottage cheese but I think low fat cottage cheese would be alright. Because I don't like eggs, I used 'Egg Like' which is an egg replacer. I skipped the 'garnish step' and serve them with to tomato sauce.

Steps:
- Combine pumpkin, cottage cheese, eggs, brown onion, spring onions and wholemeal plain flour in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Spray with oil. Shape 1/4 cup quantities of pumpkin mixture into patties. Place around edge of pan, allowing room for them to expand. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and cook for a further 2 - 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
- Repeat last step until remaining pumpkin mixture is complete.
- To finish, arrange spinach on serving plates. Place two patties on each plate. Sprinkle ricotta on top and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin. Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are small and sweet. Avoid using a carving pumpkin, which is large and watery.
- Roast the pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pumpkin is tender.
- Use a food processor to make the pumpkin puree. This will give you a smooth, consistent puree. You can also use a potato masher, but it will take a little more effort.
- Add some spices to the pumpkin burgers. Pumpkin burgers are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree, and they're also a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. Add some spices to the pumpkin burgers, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, to give them a warm and inviting flavor.
- Serve the pumpkin burgers with your favorite toppings. Pumpkin burgers can be served with a variety of toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. You can also serve them with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They're easy to make and can be served with a variety of toppings. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give pumpkin burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
