Hey guys, hope you're well! We're gonna make the most delicious sweet potato and sweet
corn pancakes hit up with beautiful feta cheese, avocado, fried egg and a little jalapeno salsa,
it's a brilliant breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner, whatever you want it to be it can be. So let's do
it it's very very simple. First up sweet potato, 500 grams here really nutritious. It's a great
swap out for potatoes, full of the good stuff, I just literally prick it with a fork, scrub it,
in a microwave, 10 minutes, and then when you burst it open look at that amazing colour,
flavour, nuttiness, you're gonna love it. Now sweetcorn get yourself two little tins,
these are a standard tin 125 grams I'm gonna empty that into the bowl, juice and all. And
then I'm going to use this tin as the measure for your self-raising flour. I'm using two tins of
self-raising flour. That goes straight into here. Mix this up. Then we're going to go in with 2 eggs
okay? So lovely free-range eggs if you can. A little pinch of salt and pepper. Mix that up,
that's making your basic batter, but I want to add more veggies to it to make it more delicious. So
take the sweet potato and just roughly chop it up. The skin is really sweet and nutty so don't feel
you have to peel it. Throw that in to the batter and look this is all about getting more of the
good stuff into our diets because it's delicious. So mix that up and then last but not least I'm
going to get some feta cheese, so I'm using about 50 grams and I'll take half of that and just
crumble it into this batter. That's going to give it beautiful colour it's going to be delicious.
My kids love it I love it so it's a kind of nice thing to do. So I've got a large non-stick pan on
a medium heat, I'll just put a little bit of olive oil into that pan. So this is enough for four
portions okay you get two chunky pancakes each. I'm just gonna do one portion at the moment but
you can do two easily at a time. The great thing about this recipe is if you've kind of got a lazy
breakfast or brunch you know you can do yourself some, do some for your missus, if kids turn up one
by one you can do it bit by bit it's lovely. But what you want to do is cook it for about two and
a half minutes on each side until it's golden, crisp, and delicious, just keep your eye on it.
And then when it comes to the salsa I've got a brilliant little hack so look this
is typical jalapenos that you'll get in a jar in the supermarket but if you wedge it up in
a liquidiser you make your very own jalapeno sauce, salsa, it's a really great little hack.
So I'm going to get myself a nice avocado. Per person we're going to have quarter of an avocado
and just kind of slice it into like centimetre chunks. Really nice heart-healthy fats which is
great. Then I'm going to take some of that beautiful jalapeno salsa that you've made,
a few nice little coriander leaves just sort of pick them off nice and fresh I give them a little
wash in cold water. So it's a really simple little salad. Of course if you want to get other ways to
get more veg into that you could finely slice or chop up some tomatoes, delicious. Let's have a
look at our beautiful pancake here. get a little fish slice, turn it over, look at that colour.
So when you turn the pancakes just give them a little press down with your palette knife and
once you've done that if you've got a nice big pan like this we can crack an egg in and fry it.
So in the pan we go, we'll have a little pinch of salt, pepper. Let that tick away for a couple of
minutes. I've basically got nothing else to do so I can make a cup of tea, a cocktail, margarita.
If you look at the fritter now you can see it's just getting sizzly, golden. Get under there, flip
it over. 30 seconds on the other side until softly cooked, happy days. So let's serve up guys, golden
and delicious. And if I just tear it in half you can see the little pops of feta cheese it's
steamy, it's delicate, the egg is nice and lightly cooked. We've got our fantastic little salsa. Look
at the colours guys! Just brilliant, really nice. Just a little bit of feta cheese, that is a thing
of beauty. And of course it wouldn't be right without cutting the egg yolk. Look at that. Oozy,
beautiful, I'm so excited to try it. And it's a great way most importantly to get two of your five
fruit and veg in your diet, every day. Brilliant, right, enough talking. Let's get amongst it.
The very subtle heat from that jalapeno sauce, wow, really good. What's really cool about this
is my little River, five years old, loves it. All right maybe not the chilli sauce
he goes mad if I do that, but Buddy likes the chilli sauce so you know, it's a moving target.
Mm. So there you go, a little bit of joy a little bit of sunshine that could be in your life.
