Ingredients

Sweet Potato Pancakes:

2 medium to large sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
4 to 5 tablespoons vegetable oil

Portobello Mushrooms:

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 portobello mushroom caps, wiped clean

Pork Tenderloin:

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Hollandaise Sauce:

1 pound (4 sticks) salted butter
6 egg yolks, room temperature
4 poached eggs, for plating

Spinach and Peppers:

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds baby spinach
1 pound roasted peppers, sliced
1 to 2 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper

Directions

Sweet Potato Pancakes:

Mix all ingredients, except oil, in a large bowl until just combined. Form mixture into 4 equal size patties, like small pancakes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties, in batches, to the hot oil and fry until firm and brown on both sides. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Portobello Mushrooms:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add mushroom caps and saute for 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Pork Tenderloin:

Cut pork into 4 slices, each about 1 1/2-inches thick. Season slices with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add pork pieces to the pan and sear for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Hollandaise Sauce:

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully melted. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Slowly add the melted butter to the yolks until fully incorporated. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Spinach and Peppers:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add spinach, peppers, and garlic to the pan and saute, stirring to wilt spinach, for about 2 minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

To assemble:

Place the sweet potato pancake in the center of the plate, place mushroom cap on top, and then the pork. Place the poached egg on top of the pork and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Lastly, arrange the baby spinach and roasted peppers along the outer edge of the plate.

Wonderful melding of flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my mother and my husband. We all loved it. Note: since you are mixing the heated butter in the egg yolks,... they aren't raw any longer. The hollandaise sauce is the main reason I chose this recipe and it is what makes the recipe. I made this for dinner, so I didn't use the poached eggs. I think all the oil can be cut way back (especially if you use non-stick pans) I had difficulty keeping the pancakes together, so I ended up treating the sweet potatoes like hash browns and it worked out fine. Very very yummy!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made this with a friend and didn't find it to be too hard to put together. The layers of flavours are delicious - though we... thought the potato pancakes could have used less cinnamon. We definitely recommend giving it a try.Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe. Everything about it is tasty. The presentation is sensational it really invites to eat it. It's not easy to... prepare but considering that it's a complete meal it's still great. I substituted the sauce for cranberry sauce because raw eggs aren't for me. But everything is was excellent!Read more
