Sweet Potato, Dasheen and Veggie Pattie Recipe

I love to find different ways to prepare the foods that we eat day in and day out. This keeps boring out of the kitchen and makes every meal different though it may be the same foods we're eating. This recipe is one of those I came up with as a different way of eating ground provisions by using it in place of bread. This can be had with breakfast like I did or with lunch since it has provisions in it.

Sweet Potato, Dasheen and Veggie Pattie

1 sweet potato
1 small dasheen
1 carrot
1 leaf (bok choy) chinese cabbage
Sea salt
1/4 onion
Coconut oil/Olive oil
Dash of curry

Method

Wash sweet potato and put to boil in a pot of salted water. Peel dasheen and put into the same pot. While they are cooking, wash and grate carrot into a bowl. Chop bok choy (chinese cabbage) and onions and add to carrots. Sprinkle sea salt and drizzle about 1 tbsp coconut oil over them. Mix well, cover and let sit. When sweet potato and dasheen are cooked, drain the water and mash them. Add to vegetables with a dash of curry and mix well. Taste and adjust the salt content as needed. Form into balls and flatten to make into patties. Serve and enjoy!

N.B. You may also fry or bake these for a different taste altogether. I plan on doing that one of these days. With this recipe you have a combination of cooked and raw so you end up getting the goodness of raw veggies and all their raw nutrition. You can also change the veggie combination or the provision combination as well.
