Pumpkin koroke
- Japanese pumpkin croquettes -

What you need:
​
1 medium sized cooking squash
3 cloves of garlic
​
30g melted vegan butter
1tbsp nutritional yeast
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
300g flour
Breadcrumbs
Oil for frying (I used sunflower oil)
How to prepare:
Wash the squash, peel and clean of seeds. Cut it into small cubes and add to a bowl along with the diced garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper then bake in a parchment paper lined tray at 180° for 30 minutes.
Once baked and cooled, add to a blender along with the nutritional yeast and melted vegan butter and process at high speed until very smooth.
Add to a bowl then start incorporating the flour while mixing with a spatula. The result should be a non sticky dough (add more or less flour to get this result). Place the dough in the fridge for an hour.
Add enough oil to a pan so that the pumpkin croquettes will be covered more than halfway, allow the oil to heat first. Start shaping the croquettes, cover them in breadcrumbs​ then fry until golden.
Place them on paper towels after so the excess oil can be absorbed.
Serve with barbecue sauce or soy sauce, enjoy!
