Silver Dollar Oat Pancakes

Instructions:

Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and cook in microwave on high until tender (about 15 minutes). RELISH: While potatoes cook, combine vinegar, sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Put sliced onion in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onion. Let stand 10 minutes before draining. Transfer drained onions to a plate to cool. Slice cooked sweet potatoes in half and scoop out flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Divide filling onto four tortillas and spread thinly. Top each sweet potato tortilla with a heaping cup of spinach, ¼ cup mozzarella cheese and another tortilla. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil skillet and transfer 1 quesadilla; cook until quesadilla is crisp and cheese is melted (about 3 minutes/side). Transfer cooked quesadilla to serving and repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut cooked quesadillas in quarter and serve each with ¼ cup pickled red onion.

This dish has more calcium than a glass of milk and you get an immune boost from the sweet potatoes.

Yield: 4 servings.
