GYPSY STOVE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the squash, pears, shallots, ginger and broth in the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 8 hours or high 4 hours, until soft and cooked through, a knife should easily be inserted.
• Remove squash from skin and discard the peel.
• Stir in coconut milk and nutmeg.
• Blend in a blender or using an immersion blender until smooth.
• Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper and garnish with more coconut milk, if desired.

Steps:

• Drain chicken very well. I place mine in a colander to drain for several minutes then press down on the chicken with a heavy bowl.
• Roughly chop chicken. I like the chicken to be uniform in size for consistent texture in the fritters (aim for about 1/4 inch pieces). Chopping the chicken also prevents any stray bits from poking out of the crispy coating.
• Add chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt and spices to a mixing bowl then stir with a fork until well combined. Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
• Pour additional bread crumbs into a shallow bowl or pie plate (about a cup or so). Portion chicken mixture into six fritters. Shape each fritter into a tight little hockey puck then coat with additional bread crumbs.
• Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pan-fry chicken fritters on each side until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
