HOMEMADE PICARONES
Picarones are sweet, ring-shaped winter squash fritters enjoyed in Peru. They’re the perfect warming treat to get you through a cold snap.
MAKES 6-12
Half stick cinnamon 4 whole cloves
2 tbsp whole aniseed
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and halved
110g pumpkin, peeled and cut into 3-inch chunks
2 tsp active dry yeast 1 tsp superfi ne sugar Pinch of kosher salt 200g all-purpose fl our Vegetable oil, for frying Marmalade, for serving
1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cinnamon, cloves, and aniseed and simmer for 10 mins. Strain out the spices and discard them, keeping the spiced water. Add the sweet potato and pumpkin to the water and simmer until soft (about 10 mins).
2 Reserve 2 tbsp of the cooking water in a small bowl, discarding the rest, and let it cool to about
40C. Add the yeast and sugar and let sit for 5 mins.
3 In the bowl of a stand mixer fi tted with the paddle attachment, put the sweet potato and pumpkin and beat on medium speed to a smooth puree. Stir in the salt and the yeast mixture. Beat on high speed until smooth. Reduce the speed to low, and add the fl our, a little at a time, until a soft, elastic dough forms. If the dough is still sticky, add a bit more fl our.
4 Cover the dough with plastic wrap and proof in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
5 In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat at least 3cm of oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 180C/gas mark 4. Pinch off golf ball–size pieces of dough and shape them into rings with your fi ngers. With a metal spatula, carefully put the rings in the oil and fry 1-2 mins on each side, or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on a paper towel, and let cool slightly before serving with marmalade on the side.
