Instructions

 

Pumpkin and Sardine snack

• You will need 250 grams of baked or cooked pumpkin. In case you do not have any leftovers, cut a pumkin in half and put it cut side down on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake it in the oven for about 45 minutes on 200°C until it's soft. Get it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before scraping the flesh out. Alternatively peel the pumking and cut it in cubes and cook until soft.
• Put all the ingredients (except half of the panko) in a bowl and mix it. The mixture will be a little wet. In case it is too wet, you can add some extra panko.
• Put the second half of the panko on a plate.
• Now create small balls of the mixture and then cover them with panko by rolling them through the panko. You will be able to create about 15 balls.
• Add a good amount of olive oil in a pan. Once heated bake the balls until golden. Let it drain and cool down a bit.
• Alternatively you can bake the balls in the oven for about 20-25 minutes on 190°C. They will taste delicious, but will be less golden.

Dip sauce

• For the dip, put some Greek yoghurt in a bowl and mix it with a bit of sweet chili sauce. Enjoy!
