Unlike the makings of most of my recipes, this one comes from an over abundance of kale I have in my possession.
I pondered for a while what could I make... and I asked myself, what in the world goes well with kale... The it dawned on me... Sweet Potato of course...
These fritters are a must try. They nutty flavour of sweet potato comes through, the slight bitterness of the kale paired with a hint of Indian spices hit all the right notes and again like most of my recipes, this is easy and quick!! Hardest part is shredding your sweet potato (true story)
Now while I'm a real fan of fritters for breakfast, this dish is fit for any meal and gives a whole new excitement to "meat free Monday"
What you need
1 cup peeled, grated sweet potato
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 cup of shredded kale (cut very small)
1/2 cup plain flour
1/4 cup shredded or diced zucchini
1/4 cup diced capsicum
1 medium egg
1/2 tsp sea salt and pepper to taste
1 ¼ tsp garam masala
Mix all ingredients into a bowl, form Patty like shapes.
Heat fry pan, add a little Olive oil (or oil of choice)
Add each patty and fry each side till golden.
Serve with a spiced mint yoghurt dressing and Nigella seeds. (Easy peasy)
Tip: You can make these fritters completely vegan and gluten free by omitting the egg and substituting plain flour for rice flour. But you will need moisture to substitute the egg, so make sure you gently fry off your veggies first to allow the warm steam to mix with your rice flour and bind everything together.
