Histamine Friendly Sweet Potato Turmeric Puffs

February 10, 2020 by taniasurrow Leave a Comment

It has been a while since I posted last. I wish I could say that it is because I was working on some cool project like writing a cook book or something. Unfortunately it is nothing cool like that. The simple truth is I have been busy with family life and work life coupled with a case of lack of inspiration. Since my last post in October I must have started at least 20 to 30 new recipes. None of which I have managed to finish or perfect. This weekend however, I finally managed to both finish the recipe and take the photos of these Histamine Friendly Sweet Potato Turmeric Puffs

To get out of my food inspiration funk, I have been cooking a bunch of new recipes lately, instead of sticking to old favorites. Since my histamine intolerance is no longer stopping me from enjoying a wealth of different foods, I have had the opportunity to go wild in terms of recipes, with little to no adaptions needed.

All of this cooking has also provided me with a little short list of recipes that I want to adapt and make more histamine friendly for you guys. These histamine friendly sweet potato turmeric puffs, is originally inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe. It is originally a recipe for burger patties, served with mango chutney. BTW coming up with a good low histamine recipe for mango chutney, is something that has been on my goal list for a long time! If you have any tips, pretty please share in the comments below.

First time I made these, following the recipe of mister Jamie Oliver, we indeed had them as burgers. Trust me on this one! They are a great plant based burger patty. However the next day I brought the lefts overs to work together with a very simple salad (consisting of mixed leafy greens, shaved raw Brussels sprouts, pomegranates and a simple basil yogurt dressing). It was so freaking delicious, that I knew I had to put this on the blog somehow.

So my brain went to work on how to make these low histamine, while still being as delicious without all the non tolerated spices. And let me just tell you turmeric is the savior of the day 😀 Gotta love turmeric! Even though it stains everything yellow, and my fingertips are yellow for days 😉

The recipe is quite straight forward. Rinse and peel the potatoes and the sweet potatoes. Cut them into small pieces and boil them until they fall of a fork when you prick them. Drain and let them steam off without a lid on. Melt the ghee in a pan, and add garlic (replace with white onion, if you don’t tolerate garlic), fresh ginger and fresh turmeric. Let it fry for a few seconds before adding the potato and sweet potato. Mash up the potato and sweet potato mix in the pan, and spread it out as well as you can. Fry the mashed potato mix until crispy, then mix up and allow to get crispy again. Repeat this 4-5 times, before forming little imperfect balls with the help of two spoons. Let the sweet potato puffs brown on each side.

Enjoy these histamine friendly sweet potato turmeric puffs in a salad, a wrap or pita, use them to replace falafel or nuggets, eat them instead of tater tots, or make them bigger and eat them as burgers. I could go on and on, but I think you get it right? This is truly a versatile recipe, which I hope you’ll enjoy. Play around with the spices to please your personal taste.

Ingredients

  • 200 g / 7 oz sweet potatoes (washed, peeled and cut into smaller chunks)
  • 200 g / 7 oz potatoes (washed, peeled and cut into smaller chunks)

  • a thumb sized piece of turmeric (finely chopped or grated)
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp ghee

Optional, if serving as a salad

  • mixed leafy greens
  • thinly shaved raw Brussels sprouts
  • pomegranate
  • basil
  • yogurt (any tolerated yogurt, I prefer goat yogurt)*

Instructions

  • Rinse and peel the potatoes and the sweet potatoes. Cut them into small pieces and boil them until they fall of a fork when you prick them. Drain and let them steam off without a lid on.
  • Melt the ghee in a pan, and add garlic (replace with white onion, if you don’t tolerate garlic), fresh ginger and fresh turmeric. Let it fry for a few seconds before adding the potato and sweet potato.
  • Mash up the potato and sweet potato mix in the pan, and spread it out as well as you can. Fry the mashed potato mix until crispy, then mix up and allow to get crispy again.
  • Repeat this 4-5 times, before forming little imperfect balls with the help of two spoons. Let the sweet potato puffs brown on each side.
  • Add to a bowl of mixed leafy greens, thinly shaved Brussels sprouts and pomegranates. finely chop the basil and mix with a little yogurt. Drizzle the yogurt basil dressing over the sweet potato turmeric puffs. Enjoy 🙂

Notes

  1. If you don’t tolerate garlic, you can leave it out or replace it with some finely grated white onion, which is typically better tolerated.
  2. If you don’t tolerate any kinds of yogurt, just sprinkle the fresh herbs on top, or mix with a tolerated oil.
  3. Please note that the nutritional data is based on the sweet potato turmeric puffs alone and not on the suggested simple salad serving.
