Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 lbs pumpkin, coarsely grated
• 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
• 2 green onions, sliced thin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
• 1 cup flour
• flour (for dredging)
• oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 lightly salt the grated pumpkin and put in a colander to drain for 1/2 an hour.
• 2 get out as much water as you can by squeezing the pumpkin between your hands, before proceeding with recipe.
• 3 lightly saute the onion and green onion in 1 tblsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet.
• 4 in a bowl, combine the pumpkin with the onion and add the feta, egg and dill.
• 5 when this is combined well, add the flour, a little at a time, until you have a very soft dough.
• 6 take a tablespoonful of the pumpkin dough and drop into a the flour you've put aside for dredging.
• 7 gently press down on the dough to give it a pillowey-disk shape.
• 8 turn over and dredge other side.
• 9 do this to a number of fritters (as many as you think will fit into your frying pan at one go without over-crowding).
• 10 heat oil (we use olive oil here in greece, but a vegetable oil could be used instead) over medium heat and, when hot, add fritters.
• 11 fry until deep golden-brown on both sides.
• 12 remove to paper towels to drain.
• 13 repeat, using up remaining fritter dough.
