Ingredients:
1/2 cup of cooked fish*
1/2 cup of organic pumpkin, roughly-diced
1 tbsp of organic onion, finely-diced
1 clove of organic garlic, finely-diced
1/2-1 cup of organic breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of wheatgerm (optional)
1 organic egg white
3-4 tsp of organic extra virgin coconut oil/olive oil
1/4-1/2 cup of water

Method:
Heat up 1tsp oil in a small pot. Add in the onion and garlic and stir until cooked. Add in the pumpkin and cook for 3-5 minutes.

Then add in the water and let simmer under low heat for 10-12 minute or until the pumpkin is fork-tender and the water has been fully absorbed.

Take it off the heat and let cool.

When cooled, add in the rest of the ingredients; i.e. fish, breadcrumbs, wheatgerm and egg white and combine.

Add more breadcrumbs if needed.

Divide the mixture into 6-8 portions and pat it into burger shapes.

Meanwhile, heat up a under medium low heat. When heated, coat it with the rest of the oil and turn down the heat to low.

Place the patties gently into the pan. Fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Drain on kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat the process until all patties are done.

Serve with a bowl of steaming rice to complete the meal.

* I use fresh fish for this dish. I steamed to cook it. Alternatively, you can also poach it in some homemade stock or milk. Just add enough stock/milk to cover the fish and bring to boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer until the fish is no longer translucent. Drain the fish and chop into small pieces. And always check the fish for bones.
