Pumpkin Dumplings

Roasted and sieved pumpkin which has been mixed with egg, flour and parmesan to a paste and deep fried until golden and served. I am not sure where I got this recipe from it was pretty basic when finding it and added to sort out, test of find similar at some later stage. Recipe did not say how the dumpling were cooked, assuming they are deep fried but possible could be poached.

Recipe of the Day

Pizza Base
This is the raw or par cooked pizza dough which has been rolled out to a pizza shape. When working with Italian chefs at Swings & Roundabouts the dough was made in advance and put into the fridge. When service came and the orders started coming in, one chef would spend the whole day just forming the dough into the pizza bases ready for the toppings and then to be cooked. This recipe was an attempt to capture that technique of how they rolled the dough to form a pizza. Once made this pizza base can then be par cooked and kept in the refrigerator or as the Italian boys would do just put the topping directly onto the pizza base and straight into the woodfired pizza oven. This was one of the most authentic pizzas I have ever eaten.
