happy Autumn - pumpkin black bean burgers and pumpkin tots

This year’s pumpkin tribute includes a black bean pumpkin burger with grilled onions & spicy mayo with a side of pumpkin tots served with vanilla bourbon cream.

The victim:



Made a few pies last night then popped the halved pumpkin on the stone to bake:



Removed the skin:







Riced half of it:



Spread onto a towel lined pan:





Press overnight with weight to squeeze out as much moisture as possible:






The next day, it’s quite dry:



Blend in a little flour & pumpkin spice:





Onto plastic wrap:



Roll into dowels & into the fridge:



For the burgers, take the un-riced part of the pumpkin & slice into small cubes then mix together with a basic black bean burger concoction then form into patties:





Fry the burgers:



Cut the dowels into tots & deep fry:





Serve:





Happy almost Autumn
