1 inch fresh Ginger, grated

Peel sweet potatoes, cube and season. Toss in olive oil, cover with foil and roast in the oven until soft. Put in bowl and mash roughly. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add grated ginger and chopped shallots; let sweat. Add thyme, then remove pan from heat and pour hot mixture over sweet potatoes and add the panko breadcrumbs, pecans and the beaten egg with a little sea salt and freshly ground peppercorns. Mix very well; taste and adjust seasoning.
