The story behind this recipe
Hi there!
Today we're cooking seasonally, and since we can find butternut squash everywhere, let's cook it :)
I took half of one, removed the seeds, and grated the whole thing (and now I'm done with the 'hardest' part, if I can even call it that).
Ingredients added by eye and taste:
Add 2 washed eggs, 2 minced garlic cloves, a handful of mozzarella or cașcaval, 2 handfuls of breadcrumbs, turmeric, and salt.
Mix everything together and proceed as shown in the picture.
Place in the oven for 15 minutes on one side, and 15 on the other. Take them out, cover them with sour cream + salt, and decorate with a mix of fresh herbs. Here, I used rosemary, mint, and green onion.
BON APPÉTIT, my dears,
PS: If you want, you can also pan-fry the tocinei.
