Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cook the pumpkin in a large pot of boiling water for 10-15 minutes, until tender, drain well, return to the pot and mash the pumpkin thoroughly.
  2. Remove the outer leaves from the leek, wash all the leaves thoroughly, pat with a paper towel to remove excess water and finely chop.
  3. Peel garlic cloves, crush and finely chop.
  4. Thoroughly drain the lentils.
  5. Finely chop the tarragon.
  6. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat, in a sauté pan, and sauté the finely chopped garlic and leek until tender.
  7. Transfer the garlic and leek to kitchen paper to drain excess oil.
  8. Mix the garlic and leek with the mashed pumpkin, lentils, flour, egg and tarragon until well combined.
  9. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat in the sauté pan.
  10. Add 1/4 cupfuls of the pumpkin/lentil batter to the pan and flatten with a spatula.
  11. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden. You should get 8 fritters from the batter.
  12. Drain the fritters on kitchen paper and, if not needed immediately, keep them warm in a 120ºC oven.
  13. Serve the fritters with tzatziki or your favourite vegetable chutney and a salad.
