Frittelle Ingredients

Method

Frittelle Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squash

    Steam or boil the diced butternut squash until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped oyster mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In a large bowl, mash the cooked butternut squash. Add the eggs, flour, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Fold in the sautéed mushrooms and crumbled stracchino cheese.

  4. 4

    Fry the Frittelle

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the frittelle from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
