Description

These pumpkin and potato meatballs are a delicious and vegetarian alternative to classic meat meatballs. The sweetness of the pumpkin perfectly matches the soft texture of the potatoes, creating a comforting and flavorful dish. I often prepare them in the fall, when the pumpkin is in season and more tasty. They are perfect as a tasty appetizer or as a light second course, accompanied by a fresh salad. The preparation is simple and quick, also ideal for those who have little time. A great idea to get children to eat vegetables! They can also be prepared in advance and cooked at the moment.

Cubed pumpkin and potatoes

300 g of pumpkin, previously cut in half and deprived of seeds, and 300 g of peeled and cubed potatoes, are placed in a bowl.

Microwave cooking

Add 40 g of water to the bowl with the pumpkin and potatoes. Cover with food film and cook in the microwave at 800 W for 15 minutes. Check that the vegetables are soft, otherwise cook for another 5 minutes.

Reduce to puree

Remove the film and mash the pumpkin and potatoes with a fork or potato masher until a homogeneous puree is obtained.
