Crust
  1. Lower the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 F).
  2. Place green buckwheat and pecans in a food processor, and process until you get coarse crumbs. Add tahini, water, salt, and spices and process for a few seconds, until it forms a dough.
  3. Using your hands, line the bottom of a greased 9-Inch (24 cm) pie pan; There is no need to line the sides, only the base. Set aside and proceed to the sweet potato filling.

  1. Transfer the baked sweet potatoes to a bowl and mash with a potato masher. Alternatively, you can mash the sweet potato in a food processor and transfer them to a bowl.
  2. Add almond milk, garlic, salt, pepper and chili powder and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Spread the sweet potato mixture over the buckwheat crust and flatten with a spatula.

Notes

To prepare sprouted and dried green buckwheat:
  1. Soak the buckwheat overnight
  2. Strain and rinse well
  3. Place one layer to sprout and dry on a tray or a large plate. After a few hours, the buckwheat will grow cute little curls.
  4. Leave the buckwheat on the tray to dry completely. It is essential to follow this step.
  5. Ready :)
  6. Tip: make a large amount, divide into bags (measuring one cup for each bag) and freeze.
