Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ cup diced onion

  • 2 cups grated butternut squash, packed

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • ¼ cup garbanzo-fava bean flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)

  • 3 tablespoons corn flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ¼ cup sour cream for garnish (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds for garnish (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. Place butternut squash in a large bowl, and season with curry powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss with a fork, then stir in the egg, garbanzo-fava bean flour, and corn flour. Mix in cooled onions.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the butternut squash mixture into the pan. Flatten to a patty about 1/4-inch thick. Pan fry until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining squash mixture.

  4. Top with sour cream and pumpkin seeds before serving.
