Notes
While Halloween is all about the jack-o’-lanterns, you may be glad to discover how to use the pumpkin leftovers in a different way… this simple salty fritters recipe is just one of the ways to use the pumpkin flash in a very uncommon but tasty way.
I know that salty pumpkin fritters might sound freakish to many… but trust me, they’ll be a splendid discovery. On the other side, I might confess that I really dislike sweet recipes based on pumpkins… As a pumpkin farmer, I have to deal daily with many people that offer me pumpkin desserts, cakes, cookies and jams…
Despite what “The king of Asparagus” is trying to teach me with his agronomist delineations I have this “conviction” that pumpkins are veggies, not fruits… and I cannot appreciate pumpkin with sugar… Btw if you have a thunderous mambo jumbo recipe that you want to share, I’ll be more than glad to try it and express a sincere and open minded comment.
If you want to add a spicy touch you can add a pinch of curry powder or some dried garlic in the mixture. Personally, I find that garlic adds much to pumpkin flash, helping to get rid of the sweetish taste that many people dislike…
