Sweet Potato and Cabbage Pancakes
I used green cabbage in this batch, but purple works as well. This is a very easy meal and different. Enjoy!

- 1/2 tsp Dill, Dry or 1 tbsp Fresh Dill
Instructions
- Fill your pressure cooker or pot with 2" of water and set to sauté to preheat the water before steaming. (If you do not have a steamer, you can microwave the veggies on high for 4-6 minutes stirring every 2 minutes, or saute them.) They need to be soft and cool before they go into the egg mixture.
- Shred the cabbage. Add it to the steamer.
- Peel and grate the potato. Add this to the steamer on top of the cabbage. Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 3 minutes. Releasing the steam to avoid overcooking. (You want these vegetables to be soft but not over cooked).
- In a large bowl add the eggs, water, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder, psyllium husk, ghee, and cassava flour. Mix thoroughly.
- Remove the vegetables from the steamer and allow to cool. Then mix them with the batter. Place the frying pan on medium low heat and add a few teaspoons of olive oil.
- Depending on the size of your pan, you will want to cook these in 2-4 batches. Mix thoroughly before making each pancake. Place enough of the mix in the frying pan to make a 1/2" thick pancake. Cover with lid and cook each side for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown. Sprinkle each pancake with Romano cheese.
- Stack the pancakes on top of each other and cut into wedges.
- Mix the mayonnaise, ground flax, water, salt, garlic powder, and dill in a small bowl. Serve with sauce.
Notes
This recipe makes great leftovers and despite being mostly vegetables, it's very hearty and filling.

I am getting there…
