Whenever we are preparing dinner, and we know that we really want sweet potatoes, but we're tired of having it the same way?
{Baked, with maybe some brown sugar and butter?}
Yeah I was tired of it too, y'all, so I went out there and found something COMPLETELY different, that I fell in love with and I know you will too!
I found the recipe here, that I changed and added to in order to make it my own, and to create something a little different.
* Makes about 14-16 patties (depending on your patties size, cause size matters. lol)
What You Need ::
- 2 medium to large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup quinoa (2 cups water) - we'll be cooking it
- 1/4 red onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 Tbls. thyme (rub between your fingers when putting in the pan in order to release scent)
- Dash of cilantro
- About a Tablespoon olive oil
- Coarse sea salt
- Olive oil for the fryin' :)
Directions ::
- First, make sure those potatoes are ready y'all, so get your oven to 400 degrees, and bake them for 45 minutes. At about half way through, I took mine out and cut them in 4th's so that they cooked through, and were softer.
- Cook your quinoa. 1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water, bring to a boil, once it has reach a vigorous boil, reduce heat to low (simmer) and keep on heat for 15 minutes. Once cooked, take off heat and set aside.
- In a pan, take your onions, the 1 Tbls of olive oil, and a hefty pinch of coarse sea salt, and sauté until the onions are translucent.
- Add the garlic, and stir for 1 minute, add thyme and cook for about 30 seconds. Take off heat and add to a large bowl. Add the {mostly} cooled quinoa to the same bowl and stir. Set aside.
- Take potatoes out, peel them, then mush them up and add them to the quinoa mixture. Add another 1/4 tsp of the sea salt and mix everything together.
- Form a small golf ball size of the mixture in your hands, then squish together to form a patty. Cook on medium heat, for about 2.5 minutes on each side, until crisp and browned. Make as many as you want.
* If not using all of the mixture, it will keep up in the fridge for about 2 days. But they are so delicious I don't think that you would want to leave them that long!
Now, look at you making something delicious, healthy, and irresistible!
GO YOU!
