Frugal Friday - Crumbed pumpkin

Here's a good one to threaten the kids with.

Crumbed Pumpkin

Ingredients:

1 kilo pumpkin, seeded, peeled, and sliced
3 tablespoons flour
Salt
Pepper
1 egg
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Oil for frying

Directions:

Boil the pumpkin in lightly salted water for 15 minutes, or until slightly tender but still very firm. Drain well. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Beat the egg in another shallow bowl and place the bread crumbs in a third bowl. Toss the pumpkin slices with the flour and then dip into the egg. Roll the slices in the bread crumbs and set aside until all of the slices are breaded. Heat the oil over medium high heat and fry the slices in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.

I hope you have enough bowls.
