Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound tan-skinned sweet potatoes
4 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
4 tablespoons (or more) vegetable oil
8 ounces peeled cooked large shrimp, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)*
2 tablespoons finely chopped poblano chili**
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 teaspoons Latin Spice Mix
All purpose flour
Slaw Chayote
Chipotle Tartar Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pierce potatoes all over with fork. Place on baking sheet. Toss garlic with 1 tablespoon oil in small bowl. Enclose garlic in foil; place on baking sheet with potatoes. Bake until potatoes and garlic are tender, about 30 minutes for garlic and 1 hour 15 minutes for potatoes. Cool garlic and potatoes slightly. Remove peel from garlic. Remove skins from potatoes. Combine potatoes and garlic in bowl. Mash until smooth.
  • Add shrimp, cilantro, panko, chili, onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons Latin Spice Mix. Stir to blend well. Season with salt. Form mixture into six 3-inch-diameter patties.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat cakes in flour. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cakes in batches until brown, adding more oil if necessary, about 2 minutes per side. Place on baking sheet. Bake until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon Chayote Slaw in center of plates. Place 1 cake on each plate. Spoon Chipotle Tartar Sauce atop cakes; serve.
  • *Available in Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.
  • **A fresh green chili, often called a pasilla, available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and ripe chayotes for the slaw. Look for chayotes that are firm and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • To make the slaw, use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice the chayotes. This will help the slaw to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • For the chipotle puree, use dried chipotle peppers. These peppers have a smoky and slightly spicy flavor that pairs well with the chayote slaw.
  • To rehydrate the chipotle peppers, place them in a bowl of hot water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. Once they are soft, remove them from the water and pat them dry.
  • When making the dressing for the slaw, use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice. This will create a creamy and tangy dressing that complements the chayote slaw.
  • Season the slaw with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or chili powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

Chipotle puree and chayote slaw is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The slaw is made with thinly sliced chayotes, which are tossed in a creamy and tangy dressing. The chipotle puree adds a smoky and slightly spicy flavor to the slaw. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests!
