Sweet Potato Fritters on Dandelion Greens
This is where the cell protection vitamin trio ACE reaches its peak. The combination of carotene-rich sweet potato, vitamin C-containing dandelion and vitamin E from nuts and high-quality vegetable oils leaves free radicals (= harmful metabolic products) hardly a chance.
The wholemeal flour is particularly savory and also a little richer in fiber.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 4 ozs young Dandelion greens
- 1 red onion
- 1 red Sweet potato (about 14 ounces)
- 2 Tbsps Pastry flour
- salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsps Corn oil
- 3 Tbsps balsamic vinegar
- peppers
- 2 tsps honey
- 1 Tbsp Hazelnut oil
- 2 Tbsps skinned Hazelnuts
Preparation steps
Rinse dandelion greens, spin dry, remove tough stems and cut leaves into pieces approximately 1 1/2 inches long.
Peel onion and cut into very thin strips. Peel sweet potato, grate coarsely on a box grater and mix with onion, flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Separate eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into potato mixture. (Save yolks for another purpose.)
Heat 1 tablespoon corn oil in a pan over medium heat. Divide half of the batter into 6 portions with a tablespoon and add to the pan, flattening with the spoon. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
Drain fritters on paper towels. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven at 200°F/convection 175°F. Repeat with remaining corn oil and batter.
Meanwhile, whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, honey and hazelnut oil and season with salt and pepper.
Toast hazelnuts in a small dry pan until golden brown, then place on a plate and let cool slightly.
Toss the dandelion greens with the vinaigrette, divide among plates and sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts. Top salad with the fritters and serve.
