Preparation steps

1.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel squash, cut in half, remove seeds, and cut about 2/3 of flesh into large cubes. Wrap in aluminum foil and cook for about 40 minutes or until soft. Grate remaining squash flesh, add salt, and let sit in a colander for about 20 minutes.

2.

Meanwhile, toast pumpkin seeds in a dry pan. Rinse dill, shake dry and chop the leaves.

3.

Mash baked squash cubes and mix with egg yolks, dill, pumpkin seeds and as much flour as needed to make a workable dough. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

4.

Heat vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet and with damp hands, form patties from squash mixture. Cook in hot oil over medium-high heat on both sides for a total of about 15 minutes. Garnish with dill flowers and serve with creamy yogurt if desired.
