Pumpkin Patties

I improvised these sensational patties with the ingredients I had in my pantry for my culinary contribution at a creative, inter-cultural "network party" I was invited to.The texture can be a little tricky.The first two were a disaster.Too liquid so I added some spelt flour and more oats and then they became nice,crispy and fluffy.

You need
-1 cup pumpkin
- 1 cup chickpeas
- 1 finely, chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 grated potato
- 1 egg
- 1 ts all-spice
- chopped parsley
- 4 Tbs flour
- salt and pepper
- oil

Heat 2 Tbs oil in a non-stick skillet.add onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute.add grated potato and cook until liquid has evaporated.
In food processor,blend cooked pumpkin( I steamed mine but you could also bake it).Add potato mixture,egg,parsley,all-spice,flour.Blend just until mixture starts to stick together.Add more flour if needed...
Shape patties.You should refrigerate for at least one hour.I had no time which explains why I had difficulties with the first ones.Cook patties for about five minutes per side in skillet.Enjoy!
