Karyn, first I had some Honey-jalapeno smashed sweet potatoes leftover (approx. 1.5-2 cups) Here is the recipe for those from the Cuisine for Two Healthy book on page 59
3 cups of sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 medium)
2 Tbl honey
1 Tbl fresh lime juice
1 Tbl jalapeno, minced and seeded (I used 2 whole jalapenos)
Boil sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender when pierced, 10-12 mins. Drain, return potatoes to pot, and dry briefly over medium heat, stirring often. Off heat, mash potatoes by hand until chunky, then fold in honey, lime, and jalapenos.
I took the leftovers of this(from another dinner) and formed into two patties which I baked on parchment in the convection oven until warm and crispy on the outside.
For the topping:
2 avocadoes sliced
2 oranges, peeled and sliced
2 Tbl lime juice
1 Tbl honey
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
mixed the above together and served.
The flavors went so well together and the combination of the warm pancakes with the room temp. salsa was wonderful too.
