Savory Sweet Potatoe Pancakes


Awesome when topped with sauteed turnip greens (sauteed with grapeseed and hot pepper oil)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 md Sweet potatoes
3 tb Ground almonds or cashews
3 tb Ground sunflower seeds
3 tb Grated coconut
1/2 ts Cayenne
1/2 ts Cumin
1 t Coriander
1 tb Maple sugar
1 t Salt
3 tb Chick pea flour
Ghee for frying

Boil the sweet potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain & peel
while still warm. Mash.

Mix in all the remaining ingredients except the ghee. Knead till thoroughly blended. Divide into 8 portions.

Wash & dry hands & then rub with oil. Roll each ball in your hands & then flatten into a patty.

Brush with ghee a griddle or skillet. Over the lowest heat possible, heat the ghee & then fry the patties for 15 to 20 minutes each side until a crisp reddish brown crust forms. Serve hot.
