Directions
Easy African Sweet Potato Patties, I found this recipe in a truly beautiful cookbook called ‘World Food Cafe 2’ which features vegetarian recipes from around the world alongside stunning photographs , I had major problems with these First of all, if this is the Easy version, I really don’t want to know what the hard version is like If I followed your directions exactly I would be cleaning up 2 frying pans, a wok, a pot with steamer insert, my mortar and pestle, one massive bowl and a couple of little bowls That’s a lot of dishes! I decided to follow the advice of previous preparers, and decided to bake them potatoes and sweet potatoes I didn’t have any trouble with the spices, until it was time to grind them I don’t have a coffee grinder devoted to spices, and I don’t want my coffee tasting like cumin, so used my mortar and pestle Have you ever ground cinnamon by hand? Not easy I took out the cinnamon stick and put in a 1/2 t of ground cinnamon The veggies sauteed fine, I just used the same frying pan used to toast the spices Then it was time to bring everything together, no problem When I tried to make patties and cook them, BIG problems There’s no indication of heat level for the stovetop, so I had to guess at medium And my mixture totally fell apart I ended up burning myself trying to turn the things I kept rereading the recipe trying to see if I left out some kind of thickening that would turn this soup into patties Nope I had the egg, what this needed was a good handful of flour And maybe baking them The ones that did get cooked, did not taste as though they were worth the trouble for us I am very sorry to post this review, but it really didn’t work for us at all Made for ZWT4 , Used yams, & steamed them, for this recipe & had a very easy time making the patties! I didn’t, however, peel the yams, but after they were steamed, I chopped them up fairly small so the pieces of peel weren’t very large & proceeded from there! VERY TASTY PATTIES, & well-worth making again! [Made & reviewed while on tour in Africa with Zaar’s World Tour 4]
