How to Prepare Curried Pumpkin Burgers With Tahini Dressing [Vegan]

For the pumpkin patties:

Roast your pumpkin at 375°F for about 45 minutes. The size of your pumpkin will determine the amount of roasting time needed. It is cooked when the flesh yields easily to an inserted fork.
Combine pumpkin and spices. Because of the wide variety and varying flavor qualities of pumpkin available, make sure to test and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Add remaining pumpkin patty ingredients and mix well to combine.
Form patties with your hands.
Preheat a skillet until it is VERY hot. Drop in a tablespoon of oil (it should shimmer) then place your patties onto the pan.
Cook until both sides are golden.

For the dressing:

Combine all of the ingredients except for the water.
Slowly pour water into the dressing mixing with a fork until desired consistency is reached. Add more water if necessary.
Taste and adjust as necessary. The dressing on its own is not particularly sweet but in conjunction with the other salad ingredients it is perfectly balanced.

Put it all together:

Wash and chop your kale.
Once completely dry, massage ½ tablespoon of olive oil and some salt into your kale. Set aside.
Dice and sauté shallots.
Layer salad as follows: kale, shallots, pecans, and pepitas. Pour on dressing and slide your pumpkin patty on top.
