KABOCHA KOROKKE

By LE CREUSET

Ingredients

• ½ (800g) Kabocha squash or butternut squash
• 100g shitake mushrooms
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon white miso
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon ground sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives
• 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
• 2 cups (about 100-150g) panko breadcrumbs

SAUCE

• 4 tablespoons red miso/dark miso
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1 tablespoon grated white sesame

METHOD

Cut the kabocha squash into quarters leaving the skin on and then remove the seeds. Place on the roasting tray and cover with foil. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees/ Fan 160 degrees/ Gas Mark 4 and put the Kabocha in for 50- 60 minutes until completely soft. Roast them slowly to improve the creamy texture.

In the meantime, dice the onion into small pieces and remove the stalks from the mushrooms. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces. Over a medium heat, sauté the onion and mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.

Remove the Kabocha from the oven, peel off the skins and place into a bowl. Then mash well, adding the white miso, sesame seeds, a pinch of salt, chopped chives and the sautéed onion and mushrooms. Let the mixture cool, before the next step.

Heat a Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan with the oil and add the panko breadcrumbs, spreading evenly. Cook until the panko breadcrumbs are a light brown colour. This will add some colour first without the need for deep frying. Pour the crumbs onto a large plate.

Take a small handful of the kabocha mixture and make a circular flat shape. Pat each shape in the panko to coat each patty, making about 8-10 Croquettes in total. Place on an oven sheet with non-stick baking paper. Put the Korokke into the oven at 200 degrees/ 180 degrees/ Gas Mark 6 for 15 minutes until they become a rich golden brown colour.

To make the sauce, put all the sauce ingredients except the sesame seeds in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and remove from the heat. Add the sesame seeds and serve.
