Sweet Potato Burgers

I’ve been making lots of dinners from Vegetarian Supercook this week. Even though I’ve had this book for years I still find myself going back and trying out a new recipe. If you buy one vegetarian cookbook this year this is worth being it. The recipes are well explained and easy to follow, the food always tastes delicious, there are plenty of already vegan recipes, others are easy to convert with a bit of savvy. Yep, great cookbook.

Here is a shortened part of one recipe;

These are light and tasty and stick really well because of the potato.

2 sweet potatoes

2 handfuls of wild/ brown rice

3 cloves of garlic

3 spring onions

2 tbsp grated ginger

handfull cashew nuts ground or grated

handful of polenta/ semolina flour

1. Oven cook the sweet potatoes until the skin comes off easily and they are soft inside, about 30-40 minutes. Boil the rice until soft.

2. Mix the flesh of the sweet potatoes with the rice.

3. Add the spring onions, chopped, ginger, grated, garlic, crushed, and cashews.

4. Form into burger shapes and coat in the polenta/ semolina.

5. Fry for a few minutes each side until a golden colour.

Voila.

Lovely cold and warm,in a BBQ, on a salad, in a bun, or with some warm veg.
