Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups, about 6 oz sweet potato, grated
- 1/2 red onion, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sunflower oil
To serve
- 1 cup spinach, wilted
- 4 eggs poached or 1/2 cup goat cheese if you prefer
Directions
- I find it best to make the rosti in batches, 2 at a time, so you will need to repeat the following process twice.
2. Put the grated sweet potato into a cloth or dish towel and squeeze all the excess water out: you want the pulp to be as dry as possible. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Melt half the coconut oil in a non-stick pan and sauté half of the red onion, garlic and fennel seeds for 1 minute. Add half the sweet potato and stir continuously for 30 seconds, so that the potato absorbs all the other flavors. Transfer to the bowl containing the remaining sweet potato and mix well.
4. Wipe the frying pan clean and spread half the oil around it with a cloth or paper towel. Place over medium heat.
5. Divide the rosti mixture into 4 equal pieces and form into patties. Place 2 of them in the hot pan and press down slightly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden. Keep them warm while you cook the remaining patties in the same way.
6. When finished, set the patties aside while you repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
7. Serve with the spinach and poached eggs or goat cheese.More from Alkaline Cleanse:
