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!
