Instructions

1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, finely chopped spinach, grated sweet potato, and minced shallots.

2

Fold in the Cajun seasoning until the mixture is well-incorporated and aromatic.

3

Prepare a bamboo or metal steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into 3-4 small, compact mounds on the parchment.

4

Bring water to a boil in a wok or deep skillet. Place the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover tightly, and steam for 8-10 minutes. You are looking for the sweet potato to become tender and the cottage cheese to set into a soft, cohesive structure.

5

Carefully remove the steamer from heat. Drizzle the finished parcels with the olive oil to add a silky mouthfeel and enhance the savory notes.

6

Serve immediately while warm, letting the steam release the fragrance of the Cajun spices.
