Family-favorite vegetarian pumpkin, sage, and couscous fritters.

Ingredients:

1 egg
Lemon wedges, to serve
850g pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into 3cm pieces
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
40.00 ml sage leaves, torn
28.60 gm honey
56.88 gm olive oil
250.00 ml CousCous
82.50 ml pine nuts, toasted
75g feta cheese, crumbled
250.00 ml Greek-style yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
21.00 gm lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 220C (or 200C fan-forced). In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, garlic, sage, honey, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30 minutes. Mash the roasted pumpkin coarsely using a potato masher or fork. Allow it to cool.
Place couscous in a large heatproof bowl and pour in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir with a fork until liquid is absorbed. Cover and let stand for 3 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork to separate the grains, then cover and stand for an additional 2 minutes. Fluff again and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin mixture, couscous, pine nuts, feta, and egg. Season to taste.
Shape pumpkin mixture into patties using 1/4 cup measures.
In a non-stick frying pan on medium heat, heat a bit of the reserved oil. Cook fritters in batches, adding more oil as needed. Use a spatula to gently flatten the fritters and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While you wait, prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl and seasoning to taste.
Garnish with lemon wedges and a side of garlic yogurt sauce.
