Ingredients

400 gram kumara (orange sweet potato), peeled, chopped

220 gram can baked beans in tomato sauce

6 green onions, thinly sliced

2 185g cans tuna in oil, drained, flaked

1 cup dried packaged multi-grain breadcrumbs

1/4 cup plain flour

1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil

250 gram cherry tomatoes, halved

1 lebanese cucumber, chopped

2 tablespoon bought honey mustard salad dressing

Method

1.Place kumara on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on High (100%) for 5 minutes or until just tender. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Using a fork, mash until smooth. Cool.

2.Add baked beans, half the onion, the tuna and breadcrumbs to kumara mash; stir to combine. Shape mixture into 12 patties. Coat patties in flour, shaking off excess. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper.

3.Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties, in 3 batches, for 5 minutes or until golden and heated.

4.Combine remaining onion, tomato, cucumber and dressing in a bowl. Serve patties with tomato salad.

You can use canned pink salmon instead of tuna if you like.
