Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 550g sweet potato
- 1 red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 410g cannellini beans (canned)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs sage
- 410g diced tomatoes (canned)
Method
Whisk the egg and flour together in a bowl.
Grate sweet potato and squeeze out excess moisture. Stir the potato into the egg mixture, then add grated onion.
Heat two-thirds of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Form the potato into four even-sized balls. When the oil starts to heat, add the balls in batches and press down with a spatula to form patties.
Cook for 4–5 minutes, until brown. Transfer to the oven and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
Heat the remaining oil in a medium saucepan, add garlic, chopped sage, tomatoes and beans. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve on top of rosti.
