👩🍳 Instructions
- 1
Mash the steamed sweet potato in a bowl until smooth. Add the cooked buckwheat, stir to combine, and let cool slightly.
- 2
Stir in the oat flour, chickpea flour, fresh herbs, spring onions, lemon juice, spices, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the mixture holds together firmly. If too soft, add a little more oat flour.

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a round patty about 2 cm thick, pressing firmly so it holds its shape.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and firm. Alternatively, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through.
