Chicken Waffles with Basil Garlic Aioli

This has all the characteristics of a fantastic Southern dish but without all of the grains!  The original recipe for the waffle was for a sandwich from So Let's Hang Out.  After a little personal preference tweaking I finally became satisfied with what I had created.  The main ingredients in the waffle is sweet potatoes, raw cashews and eggs.  I know it sounds like a really weird and scary combination if you aren't used to cooking this way, but just trust me and give it a whirl!  It is pretty fantastic!

• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 1 medium Sweet Potato; skin removed

Here's what ya do for the Waffles:

 

1. Blend all the ingredients together in a food processer or blender.
2. Spray waffle iron and pour 1/2 cup of batter or just enough to fill the plate of the waffle iron.

    3.  Cook until ready light appears; about 4 minutes on my waffle iron. 

    4.  Carefully remove waffle to a plate.  Repeat the process to make 5 waffles.
