Hearty and oh-so-healthy, these pancakes make for a marvelous full moon meal. Sweet potatoes are truly beneficial to women’s health and contain estrogen; these tubers are good for you inside and out, as they also give your skin a nice boost. But their main magic for folks of all ages and genders is that they are a grounding tonic. Anytime you feel spacey, out of sorts, or distracted, this food will serve you well, even if you just bake and eat a sweet potato. For this savory sweet, you will need:
- 2 large semi-baked sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 2 large semi-baked russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 cup of yogurt (organic will taste best)
- Chives, sage, and rosemary
Mix the grated potatoes and carrot in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, then add to the veggie mixture and mix thoroughly. Grind the rosemary and sage to a very fine powder in your mortar and pestle and add in a tablespoon of the herbs to the mixture; salt and pepper to taste. Shape into round balls, enough for eight mooncakes. Warm the oil slowly until it is nice and hot. Place the balls in the oil and flatten into rounds with a spatula. Cook through until they are golden and beginning to crisp on both sides. Plate up and top with organic yogurt, garnishing with chives. If you are feeling decadent, dollop on some sour cream and enjoy with a circle of friends under the sheen of a bright and holy moon.
