Makes: 12
Ingredients
-
2
Medium/large sweet potatoes
-
4
Cloves of garlic, crushed
-
1
Bunch of coriander, chopped
-
4
tablespoons Quinoa flour (you can use any plain four, the quinoa flour keeps it gluten free)
-
2
teaspoons Ground cumin
-
1
teaspoon Paprika
-
1
teaspoon Chopped red chillies
-
1/2
cup Mixed chopped nuts (I used pistachios, walnuts and pecans that had been soaked overnight)
Directions
- Roast the sweet potatoes whole in the oven at 180C until they are soft all of the way through , this usually takes about half an hour, depending on the shape and size of the potato
- Leave the potatoes to cool then remove their skins and mash the lovely orange flesh
- Add all of the other ingredients and mix it well then put the mixture into the fridge to slightly stiffen
- Fill a muffin tin with muffin cases and spray them with oil so that you can remove the cakes easily later
- Fill the cases with the mixture then bake in the oven at 180C for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure that the tops don’t burn
- Eat them warm or cold with salad and dressing, or make smaller versions and serve them as a canapé or starter. Enjoy!
