Stuffed Lotus Root Cake
Pane-Bistecca
Lotus root is something fine, it is very well known in Asia. I have made stuffed lotus root cakes! I mixed minced pork with spices and herbs, packed into slices of lotus and then fried them, breaded with sesame seeds.
I often use lotus for Chips, they turn out better than potato chips, at least that’s what I think! But you can also stuff them and then fry them, which also tastes very good.
Lotus root has a few health benefits: it promotes blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, loosens mucus and reduces fever.
