Ingredients

KUMARA RÖSTI

  • ½ carrot, grated until you have ½ cup
  • 150g red kumara, peeled and grated
  • ½ brown onion, finely diced until you have cup
  • ½ tablespoon rösti spice
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup cornflour

MOROCCAN SALAD

  • ½ carrot, peeled
  • ½ Lebanese cucumber
  • ½ tomato
  • 30g chopped dates
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

HUMMUS

  • 50g hummus
  • 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise

TO SERVE

  • 1½ tablespoons picked mint leaves

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Combine all kumara rösti ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large (preferably non-stick) fry-pan on medium heat. Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop mixture and carefully turn out into pan. Use a fish slice to flatten rösti mixture into 1cm-thick rounds.
  4. Cook rösti for about 2 minutes each side, until a golden crust has formed, adding more oil to pan if needed. Place rösti on prepared tray and repeat until all the mixture is used. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until rösti are cooked through and crispy.
  5. While rösti are cooking, use a vegetable peeler to peel carrot and cucumber into ribbons, stopping when you reach the cucumber core (discard core). Dice tomato 0.5cm. Add all to a medium bowl, along with all remaining Moroccan salad ingredients and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well and season to taste.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together hummus and mayonnaise until combined. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and lightly fold through, if desired.
  7. divide kumara rösti between plates and top with a big handful of Moroccan salad. Serve a dollop of hummus on the side and sprinkle with mint leaves.
