Black Eyed Sweet Potato Sliders
 
Ingredients
  • patty:
  • 3 cups cooked black eyes peas (2-15oz cans)
  • 1½ cups sweet potato, mashed
  • 1-2 Tbsp tahini
  • spices/seasonings:
  • 1 tsp salt (add ¼ tsp at a time to taste)
  • ¾+ tsp spices (your choice! I used Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, but Slap Yo Mama seasoning is good, too)
  • a few dashes fine black pepper
  • 2+ Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1-2 tsp oil (if baking, fold the oil into the patty mixture, if sautéing add the oil to the pan
Instructions
  1. Bake, peel and mash your sweet potato. (Or drain and rinse the canned ones.)
  2. Add to large mixing bowl.
  3. Rinse and drain the black eyed peas. Add to large bowl along with the remaining patty ingredients.
  4. Using a large fork or potato masher - mash the contents of the bowl.
  5. If baking, heat oven to 350 degrees. If using stove top - heat 1 tsp oil in large saute or grill pan.
  6. Form slider patties - about golf ball sized scoops of mixture.
  7. Baking: 350 degrees for 15 minutes for sliders. Larger burgers take about 22 minutes.
  8. For sauté: cook about 3 minutes on each side - you want the outside to be toasty brown while the inside stays moist yet heated through.
