Sweet Potato and Spinach balls

So, I tried a new recipe today. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos towards the end, it was a busy evening. Here's what you need for the Sweet Potato and Spinach Balls

1. Sweet Potatoes
2. Spinach :-)
3. Lemon
4. Garlic
5. Onion
6. Thyme
7. Oil to fry (you've got to live a little)


Step 1. Peel and cut sweet potatoes and put them to boil




2.  Cut spinach and "wilt" it i.e. pour hot boiling water on it and drain



3. Make some lemon zest, some lemon juice


4. Fry onions, add crushed garlic, lemon, lemon zest and thyme, add spinach


5. Mash sweet potatoes. Doesn't have to be that fine, and mix the two including some cassava/arrowroot flour


At this point I got busy. But just make balls and shallow fry. Voila! My child loved them! Full of nutrients and not so boring way to eat sweet potatoes.
