One of Cindy's workmates has been growing to a greater extent than cucumbers than she tin eat, hence nosotros establish ourselves amongst a duo sitting inwards the refrigerator that nosotros had no existent plans for. I'd been eyeing off Ottolenghi's cucumber salad, which he pitches every bit a dairy-free choice to yoghurt or sour-cream based sauces. We followed the recommendations inwards the majority too made sweetness tater cakes to serve amongst the salad.The cucumber salad is very, real flavoursome - raw ginger too garlic pack approximately pretty powerful punches (Cindy refuses to consume this at travel for fright of overpowering her colleagues). It's likewise a cool too tasty treat, that actually added to the fairly starchy sweetness tater cakes. I'm non certain it's actually a involve commutation for the lemon too yoghurt sauce originally intended to serve amongst the patties, but it definitely plant amongst them, cutting through amongst pungent, cool deliciousness.
The sweetness tater patties themselves were pretty uncomplicated too tasty enough, but they'd last a lilliputian doughy too bland without something similar the cucumber to kickoff them - I'm non certain they'll terminate upwardly inwards our regular burger rotation. Both recipes are pretty straightforward, although they create both include hr long residue periods (for drying the sweetness tater too combining the cucumber dressing), which agency y'all can't merely throw them together at the final minute.

(via Ottolenghi's Plenty)
4 cucumbers, peeled
ii greenish onions, thinly sliced
1 pollex sized patch of ginger, peeled too roughly chopped
ii large garlic cloves, peeled (maybe driblet this downward to 1 unless you're a large fan of raw garlic)

Cut the cucumbers into lilliputian angled half-moons close 1/2 cm thick. Combine the dressing too the cucumber inwards a bowl, add together inwards the sesame seeds too corainder, stirring good to brand certain everything is good combined. Leave to sit down for 10 minutes or hence for the flavours to actually combine.
You tin carefully tip approximately of the excess liquid away earlier serving, but nosotros were happy merely scooping out the enterprise bits too leaving a pool of dressing inwards the bowl.
Sweet tater cakes

Mash the sweetness potatoes inwards a large mixing bowl too hence add together the residue of the ingredients.
Mix everything together until you've got a overnice polish dough (this is easiest amongst your hands). It should last a fight glutinous too non at all runny - if it's liquidy (ours wasn't), add together to a greater extent than flour until it's dough-like.
