Holy Guacamole! Sweet potato stacker!


Little Burgers. Little Bread free, burger free burgers. So much joy and nutrition in these things, that I don't even think we need to discuss them! Except to say, Holy Guacamole, These things are beyond glorious!

Recipe:
For six 'burgers'

1 Large Sweet Potato Sliced into .5 cm rounds (12 slices make 6 burgers)
6 sliced rounds of Cucumber
6 Shitake Mushrooms
1 large clove Garlic
Few drops Tamari/soy sauce
1/2 Avocado
Rice bran oil for cooking
Lemon
Chilli flakes
Salt and Pepper as required

Method:

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and once it starts to sizzle add the garlic and mix until almost brown. Add Sweet potato rounds. Reduce to a medium heat, sprinkle with a few drops Tamari/soy sauce and let cook. Flip when the underside starts to brown and repeat.

Sweet potato can take a little while to cook, so you can use this time to prepare an some amazing sides! I served my non-burger burgers with a side of black rice with gomashio sprinkles, hummus and a beetroot heavy salad with various nuts on top! You can do this or eat them straight, you will not be disappointed either way!

After you flip your sweet tatter rounds, add the mushrooms and let them cook together.

Prepare the guacamole as you please. I make mine by forking half an avocado with a squeeze of lemon, a shake of salt and pepper and half a pinch of chilli flakes.

Once the Potato and mushrooms are cooked, it's assemblage time! Using the sweet potato as 'bread' add the guacamole, cucumber and mushroom. Feel free to add a little chili sauce if you are so inclined.

Serve pipping hot with your amazing side salad. You will eat this and wish for more. Lucky for you it is so easy to make! Go on, have another! Mmmmhmmm...
