Fried Pumpkin Slices

(Chips de Citrouille)

Tell a Friend

Fried Pumpkin Slices or Chips de Citrouille are made from a seasonal ingredient, pumpkin, grown in abundance in France.

As I arrive at the local school to drop of my 2 boys, Corrine a lovely french lady approaches, this is the 2nd year she has donated pumpkins to our pantry, she tells me to come round to hers as she has an abundance of pumpkins again.

As I arrive at 'cher elles' I can see what she means, they had self seeded and she had pumpkins all over her garden. She happily gave me two of the biggest pumpkins, which we still have a reserve in our freezer, they last forever and there are plenty of dishes you can use them in.
