Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Cooking
  1. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  2. Add cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir in lentils and cooked sweet potatoes; mash into a mixture.
Serving
  1. Form the mixture into small patties and fry until golden brown on both sides.

Notes

Serve on a bed of fresh greens or with a dollop of yogurt or tzatziki. For maximum crunch, let patties drain on paper towels after frying. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
