Preparation

Imperial Metric

In a medium bowl combine pumpkin puree (or mashed sweet potatoes or “regular” mashed potatoes), egg yolks, breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well. Let rest for 15 minutes, then, if the mixture is not enough firm to shape patties, add more breadcrumbs and repeat resting.
Heat the oven at 392°F (200°C), fan off. Place the rack in the middle.
Line the bottom of a 15” x 10.3” (about 25 x 35 cm) baking tray with parchment paper.
Using a cookie cutter (about 4.7” – 12 cm) shape two patties with the pumpkin and breadcrumbs mixture, directly on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon of Vignoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Toscana per patty. Add rosemary and sage sprigs and the garlic cloves. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Meanwhile, pour 1 tablespoon of Vignoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Toscana in a small frypan and gently heat.
Add the radicchio and sauté for a couple of minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste, the honey, and the orange juice. Cook at medium heat for 8 minutes or until radicchio is tender but not flabby. Keep aside.
When done, sprinkle each patty with a generous amount of cheese, shredded with a citrus-zest grater. Discard rosemary, sage, and garlic.
Set the oven in grill mode at maximum power and bake the patties until cheese is melted.
Cut the buns and spread the inside face of each bottom with ½ tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Divide the pan-fried radicchio on mayonnaise, add the patties and complete the burger with remaining bread.
