Ingredients
6 items- 500 gDelica Squash
- Seed Oilfor frying, to taste
- 100 gCrusco Pepper
- 1 pcsEgg Yolk
- Lemon Juiceto taste
- Saltto taste
Method
- Prepare the pepper oil: blend the crushed peppers with the oil, then strain to obtain a flavored oil.
- Make the mayonnaise: dissolve a pinch of salt in lemon juice, add the egg yolk. Begin emulsifying by adding the pepper oil drop by drop, then increase to a thin stream. Adjust consistency with more oil if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Slice the delica pumpkin into pieces.
- Fry the pumpkin pieces in seed oil at low temperature until golden and shiny. Be patient; even if it starts to color, wait a bit so it dries better. When shiny, it's ready.
- Drain on paper towels. Serve with the mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon.
