 We know that we love olive oil for its taste and for its benefits. Frying vegetables with olive oil has recently been demonstrated to be a healthy cooking method – even healthier than boiling! So why not thinking of a special, autumn treat? Pumpkin croquettes are savory, melting in your mouth…crispy on the outside! Frying them with olive oil will add a special taste to your preparation…and you will be free to enjoy! Makes 15 to 20 croquettes, depending on the size Ingredients: 250 grams pumpkin, peeled and chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 chili pepper Salt 1 cup vegetable broth 100 grams flour 50 grams parmesan cheese + additional 75 grams, finely grated 2 eggs 75 almond powder Extra virgin olive oil to fry Directions: In a pan, cook at mild temperature pumpkin, onion, chili pepper, salt and broth, until broth is totally absorbed and you obtain a dense puree. Let cool. Mix the pumpkin mixture with flour, 50 grams of parmesan cheese and mix well. You will obtain a soft and sticky mixture. Beat 2 eggs. Mix almond powder and 75 grams parmesan cheese. With the help of a spoon, take a small quantity of the mixture (like a walnut) and roll it first in the beaten eggs and then in the mix of almond powder and parmesan cheese. Pour extra virgin olive oil into a deep pot, fill it half full. Remember that the pot walls should rise enough to avoid oil spillovers. Heat the oil – check that it has reached the boiling temperature by putting a small piece of mixture in the oil: small bubbles should appear. When you see the bubbles, put few croquettes at the time. Turn once or twice until they get golden brown. Serve immediately.

 Tuna tartare is one of the simplest dishes to prepare…no cooking at all! Tartare consists of raw fish (in this case – normally it is made with beef meat) diced and enhanced with other flavors. As usual, the success stays in the high quality of the ingredients you will use – especially mind about the quality of the tuna – make sure you buy very fresh tuna – ask if it is suitable for sushi. Tuna must be deep red colored and should not smell. Keep it in the fridge until use and until serving. Tuna tartare with mango will easily impress your guests!
