Ingredients

4 servin
  1. 400 gYam (cubed)
  2. 2Red bell peppers
  3. 1scotch bonnet
  4. 1onion
  5. 2 clovesgarlic, ginger
  6. 1/2 kgminced meat
  7. 3eggs
  8. 1 cupgolden morn(optional)
  9. 2 teaspoonscurry, thyme and black pepper
  10. 3seasoning cubes
  11. 1 tspsalt
  12. Oil for frying

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the yam until soft (but not mushy) and drain. While the yam is boiling, heat up about 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and brown the minced beef. Add all the herbs, spices and seasoning in.

  2. 2

    Once browned, add the pepper mix and continue to cook for a further 5 mins. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down a bit.

  3. 3

    Mash up the boiled yam using whatever tool you prefer. You want it all broken up and crumbly but not completely smooth like pounded yam or mashed potatoes.

  4. 4

    Add the minced sauce to the yam and mix until everything is integrated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Rub a bit of oil between your palms and using a small icecream scoop or tablespoon, scoop up the yam mixture into your hands and roll into golf sized balls.

  5. 5

    Heat up a pan with oil(about 2-3 inches of oil). Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside. Coat the yam ball with the egg, followed by a bit of ground golden morn, then fry in the oil until all sides are golden brown. Drain on some paper towel to remove the excess oil. Serve with a side of chili sauce. I served mine with pepper soup. Enjoy!
