Sweet Potato and Cauliflower
- Steam the cauliflower pieces and the sweet potato in their skin. Pierce the cauliflower with a knife, make sure they are still tender not overcooked. Remove cauliflower and mash. Pierce sweet potato with a knife until cooked through but not overcooked just tender. Remove and mash. Combine the sweet potato and cauliflower with 3 egg yolks, sea salt and pepper and stir until combined. Refrigerate mash until cool.
Mince filling
- In a frypan heat the ghee.
- In a food processor blend/chop the onion, garlic, carrot, celery and zucchini until fine. Sauté in the pan stirring until soft.
- Add mince, sea salt, pepper and break up mince while browning in the pan with a fork until beef is cooked through and the fat/oil starts to rise to the top.
- Stir through the arrowroot flour until mixed through and the mince should become sticky. Add the Italian herbs and diced tomatoes and simmer for 5-10 mins. Then place mince filling in a colander to drain excess oils and fats. Let cool in the fridge.
- Scoop a small amount of sweet potato/cauliflower mixture into your hands and mould into a ball, poke your finger in the middle to create a pocket. Add 1 tsp of the mince in this pocket and fold over the sweet potato/cauliflower to cover the mince entirely. You can mould any shape you like.
- Roll each croquette in the egg and roll into the almond flour until coated and fry in batches in a frypan with hot ghee.
