Sweet Potato Fritters with Spicy Rice

A vegans best friend, the humble sweet potato, is the star yet again in this recipe!

Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 red onion
• 1 green pepper
• 1 tin chickpeas
• A couple of red chillies (add more or less as you like)
• 1/2 lime
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• rice
• kale
• flour
• salt & pepper
• oil for frying

Recipe:

1. Prick and microwave the sweet potatoes for about 6-7 minutes until just cooked through. Meanwhile dice the onion, pepper, and chillies very fine, and fry them together with the paprika until tender.
2. Cut the potatoes open with a knife and scoop all of the flesh into a bowl with a spoon. Add about 2/3 of the onion mix to the bowl and mash together with the juice of the lime, salt & pepper to taste, and enough flour to make the mix extremely thick and sticky.
3. Cook the rice along with 1/2 a vegetable stock cube. Meanwhile heat enough oil for shallow-frying the fritters in a pan over a medium-high heat.
4. Scoop dollops of the fritter mixture into the oil and fry until golden and crispy, turning half way through to do both sides.
5. When the rice is done put in back in the pan with the remaining 1/3 onion mix, add the tin of chickpeas, and fry for a few minutes together. Serve with kale and salsa
