dizzy pumpkin sliders, happy Autumn

Zippylip

cool Autumn air brings in the annual pumpkin cook, cow-licked home-ground chuck sliders over pineapple-headed butter-grill-fried pumpkin gnocco-buns


To make, grill a pumpkin


Scoop & rice




Combine with flour, egg, & fresh nutmeg


Roll into a ½ inch sheet & cut





Brush with butter & pineapple head


Butter fry in cast iron till the exterior is crispy




Remove to cool



Grind chuck, roll, & cut



Coat liberally with cow lick & grill





To the plate







Two-tone dizzy spices work well, the sweetness of the pumpkin and caramelized pineapple head crust on the ‘bun’ followed by the savory peppery-ness of the chuck burger, wed by cheese, all I can say is it tastes like buttery meat candy

I thought you disappeared. I was going to send you an e mail. Very creative once again.

Marc ... It seems like you make something special for every season! Very nice man. I don't have one of those rice thingy's. Do you use it often?

Hoss

Do you care to share a recipe for the little fried punkin buns? I wanna try it with sweet taters!

Zippylip

Hoss, when I had this idea, it was for pumpkin buns, but I had a leftover acorn squash, so tried that first. About a week later, I had some sweet potatoes, so tried that. This was the third run & finally got a pumpkin, & gotta tell you, it was the best of the lot, although it could just be the fine tuning of the proportions too... Of the 3 the sweet potato was the worst, they were the dryest. It is essentially a take off of potato gnocco dough (for gnocchi), which is roughly equal parts flour & cooked/riced potato with an egg, salt & pepper. If you were to do this however, they'd be rather tough, so basically what you want to do is add flour a little bit at a time & mix just until you have a dough that you can keep together long enough to get into the shape you want & into the frying pan to stiffen up, takes some patience & dexterity, so don't attempt while intoxicated :ermm: :laugh:

The "rice thingies" are a dime a dozen around here. Actually, they're about $10-12 in antique shops. I have a couple of 'em, though I have to say I rarely use them.

Carolina Q

It's a one of a kind - I think.

Woodbutcher

Thanks Michael.

Have you ever cooked just a steak or a piece of chicken I'll bet your peanut butter & jelly sammies in grade school were works of art :S

Fidel

I wouldn't feed that disgusting mess to a goat.

Morning Marc:

The hits just keep on coming! The pumpkin "buns" look FANTASTIC! Another Zippy original added to my "must do" list!

Little Steven

I agree. I wouldn't have been as direct as you were but it does look like cr@p.

Zippylip

I guess I can't take that personally, I know how much you two love & 'care' for goats

Fidel

Only because you were my personal "goat" for 3 days recently. Sweetie.

Little Steven

If I loved goats I wouldn't feed them that
