Preparation

Step 1

Sweet Potatoes Cakes
Peel the orange sweet potatoes.
Cut the sweet potatoes in cube and grated them into a food processor.
In a bowl mix the grated sweet potatoes with buckwheat flour, chopped mint, whole eggs, salt and pepper.
Warm 3 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauce pan.
Use a metallic cookie cutter press to form the cakes into the sauce pan.
Put the metallic cookie cutter circle shape into the sauce pan and fill in with the sweet potatoes mixture.
Press firmly with the cutter press to compact the cakes.
It is important that you remove all air to create a firm and compact cake.
Fry for 10 minutes on both sides.
Put aside onto absorbent towel to remove the excess of oil.

Mushroom and red onion mix
Slice the red onion and mushrooms.
Warm 1 teaspoon of olive oil into a sauce pan.
Fry the vegetables until soft and tender.
Add salt and pepper.
Put aside.

Avocado Shallot Sauce
Peel the Avocado.
Remove the avocado kernel and make an avocado puree by using a fork.
Add 1 teaspoon of lime juice, chopped mint and finely chopped shallot.
Add salt and pepper.

Burger
Grill the beef patties onto a BBQ or a sauce pan with a bit of olive oil.
In a plate place a sweet potato cake.
Spread avocado sauce, add the rocket salad, beef patty, grilled mushroom/red onion, avocado sauce and top up with another sweet potato cake.
Eat straight away.
Another option is to add low fat cheese.
