Sweet Potato and Broccoli Gems

ingredients

• 500g broccoli florets
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1/2 brown onion, diced
• 1 cup of flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 100g grated feta
• 1 cup of raw sweet potato, grated
• 1 egg

method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
2. Lightly steam the broccoli florets in the microwave or on the stove for 3-5 minutes. You want them to be soft, with a slight crunch.
3. Once slightly cooled, finely chop or mash the broccoli so the mixture holds together when shaped.
4. In a large mixing bowl, add broccoli, garlic, brown onion, flour, salt, pepper, curry powder, feta, sweet potato and egg.
5. Using your hands, work the mixture until mixed well.
6. Roll a small amount of mixture into a ball and then press with your fingers, making a round/rectangle shape. Place onto a lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining mixture.
7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Another option would be to pan fry them with a touch of olive oil over a medium heat until golden brown.
