Makes: 6-8
Ingredients:
350g sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
10ml (2 tsp) brown sugar
Pinch of salt
300g rice flour
15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
To serve:
Poached eggs
Homemade spicy tomato sauce
Method:
- Boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water until soft. Drain, reserving 250ml (1 cup) of the cooking liquid.
- Return sweet potatoes to the pot with the sugar and salt and blitz with a stick blender.
- Once you have a soft mash, gradually mix in 250g of the rice flour, alternating with the reserved cooking liquid, until you have a firm dough.
- Turn out onto a surface dusted with the remaining 50g of flour and knead for about 10 minutes until silky.
- Cover in plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Break off a palm-sized piece of dough, press it into a rough circle, then roll out into a disc about 5mm thick. Fry in the hot pan on both sides until cooked through and crispy.
- Repeat for remaining dough, keeping the cooked flatbreads warm.
- Serve with poached eggs, fresh coriander and spicy tomato sauce.
