Sweet Potato Patties

You'll need:

1 medium sweet potato

1/4 cup chopped pistachios (walnuts also work great in this recipe if you'd rather)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon tahini

1 chopped shallot

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2 cup corn flake crumbs (or more if needed)

Peel and slice the sweet potato. Bring to the boil in a large pot and cook until tender.

Drain & transfer to a bowl & mash well.

Add the chopped nuts, soy sauce, tahini, shallot & dried thyme. Mix well (best done whilst potato is still warm so the tahini melts and stirs more evenly).

Add the corn flake crumbs & stir gently until the mixture becomes slightly thicker & will hold together. You may need more crumbs depending on how moist the sweet potato is.

Press into a burger press or alternatively press into patties with wet hands.

Place on a lined oven tray & bake at 180C for 25 mins until lightly browned.

These are delicious served with my cannellini bean mash or bean salad.

I love my tupperware burger press and recommend it highly. Its so easy to use and the burgers come out perfectly shaped & even every time without sticking to the sides.

Cereal Bars

Great way to use up any leftover cereal.

You'll need:
2 cups cereal
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
2 tablespoons nuttelex
1/4 cup brown sugar
approx 2 teaspoons water

Melt the nuttelex & brown rice syrup in a pot. Add the brown sugar & stir until melted - do not overcook.
Pour cereal into a bowl & add the melted sugar mixture. Add the water only if needed to keep the mixture moist.
Put into a muesli bar maker - or alternatively press into a lined baking tray. Put into fridge until set - at least 1/2 hour.
Press out of muesli bar maker - or cut the mixture into bars from the baking tray.

Delicious with soy yogurt & passionfruit.
