SPINACH-STUFFED BUTTERNUT SQUASH PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine butternut squash, potato, onion, and salt in a large bowl; let sit until moisture is drawn out, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out excess moisture.
• Place squash mixture in a bowl and mix in flour, egg, black pepper, and baking powder until well blended.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season spinach with salt and pepper; transfer to a bowl.
• Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons squash mixture and form into a small ball using your hands; flatten into a patty. Add 1 teaspoon spinach to the flattened patty and form patty around the spinach into a ball. Flatten the ball with the palms of your hands. Repeat using the remaining squash mixture and spinach creating 12 to 14 more spinach-stuffed patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook patties until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked patties to a plate and repeat with remaining oil and patties.

5-INGREDIENT BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the shredded butternut squash, flour, eggs, minced sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the bowl, stirring until the mixture is combined. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Liberally coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop 3-tablespoon mounds of the mixture into the pan, pressing them lightly into rounds and spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them once and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked throughout. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle them with salt. Repeat the scooping and cooking process with the remaining mixture.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO

Steps:

• Break down the squash. Cut the stem end off the squash, then use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp from one half. Reserve the other half for another use. Slice the squash lengthwise about 1/2 inch thick, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Cook the squash. Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan, then reduce the heat and keep at a simmer. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the squash; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 more minutes. Use a wooden spoon to partially mash the squash, pressing it against the side of the pan.
• Make the risotto. Stir in the rice and season with salt and pepper. Add a ladleful of hot stock to the rice and cook, stirring, until absorbed. (Don't add too much stock at once, and make sure it is hot; otherwise, it will stop the cooking process.) Continue adding stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more.
• About halfway through, add more salt and pepper to taste. The entire cooking process takes about 20 minutes; start tasting for doneness after about 15 minutes. If you've used all of the stock and the rice is not yet al dente, heat a few cups of water and add ladlefuls as you did with the stock until the dish is done. The risotto is done when you can drag the spoon through the center of the pan and make a clean line in the rice for a few seconds. Season with more salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
• Serve the risotto. Transfer to serving bowls or a platter and top with Parmesan and parsley. Never leave finished risotto in the pan-it will keep cooking into a mush.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place butternut squash, cut-side up, in a 9x13-inch baking dish; cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Scoop flesh from butternut squash and transfer to a bowl; mash.
• Cook and stir pine nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir pine nuts, rice, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, egg, ginger root, garlic, salt, and black pepper into mashed butternut squash until evenly combined; shape into patties.
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; cook patties, working in batches, until crispy and browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

SQUASH PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Finely chop yellow squash and place into a microwave-safe glass bowl along with onions and peppers.
• Microwave on HIGH for 9-10 minutes or until squash is thoroughly cooked and soft. Drain. Mash. Drain again. (I place cooked veggie mixture in a sieve and press on it with a big spoon.)
• Add remaining ingredients to cooked squash and stir to combine.
• Heat a large skillet on medium. Add oil and heat until it glistens. Drop batter by spoonfuls into your skillet without crowding. Flatten with the back of a spoon to make a patty.
• Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to fry the other side (similar to making pancakes). Serve immediately.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine butternut squash, flour, garlic, eggs, thyme, sage and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Scoop tablespoons of batter for each fritter, flattening with a spatula, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS

• Preheat the oven to 400F° and grease or line with parchment paper a baking pan.
• Peel the butternut squash, chop it in half lengthways, remove the seeds and grate it. Measure 4 cups.
• In a bowl, place the shredded squash, eggs, sage, flour, parmesan, salt* & pepper. Mix well until combined.
• Take a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and form a ball. Place on baking pan and flatten slightly with your hand, so that each piece is about 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake the fritters for 10 minutes, then turn them over and keep baking for a further 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
• Serve while they're still warm.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Peel the butternut squash, chop it in half lengthways and remove the seeds. Grate the squash and weigh out 200g or 2 cups of it.

• Stir in the grated butternut squash, spring onion, garlic and herbs and mix well.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add in a heaped tablespoon of the fritter batter. Press down gently with a spatula and repeat until the frying pan is full. I was able to cook 4 fritters at a time in my frying pan but it will depend on the size of yours. I made a total of 8 fritters from the batter.
• Fry the fritters on a medium heat for approximately 3-4 minutes on either side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve immediately with a little creme fraiche or greek yogurt for dipping.
