Chorizo, black bean and sweet potato fritters

By Khanya Mzongwana

Easy
30 minutes
1 hour

Ingredients

  • 500 g sweet potato, finely diced
  • 2 T extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for frying
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 80 g black beans, cooked until soft
  • 150 g chorizo, cubed
  • 75 g chickpea flour
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 1 t baking powder
  • For the chipotle-chive mayonnaise:

  • 2 t chives, chopped
  • 1 t Woolworths chipotle seasoning
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 free-range egg yolks
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 T white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Rub the sweet potato with the olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 12 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelised.
  2. Place in a bowl with the black beans, chorizo, chickpea our, eggs and baking powder and mix. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook spoonfuls of batter for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. To make the mayo, place all the ingredients except the oil in a blender and blitz until completely combined. Slowly add the oil in a thin, steady stream until the mayonnaise has thickened. Check the seasoning. Serve with the hot fritters and a fresh salad.
