Sautéed sweet potatoes with spinach
Background
This sautéed sweet potatoes with spinach is very healthy and rather easy to make. You can serve it as a side dish with grilled meat/fish or a as main course in a vegan, vegetarian or health- conscious diet. If you want it a bit more spicy add a chilli or use hot curry powder.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 sweet potatoes (500g)
- 2 tsp curry powder ( see tips)
- ½ tsp sweet paprika
- 1 red onion
- 1 large clove of garlic
- 100g baby spinach
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- Lemon or lime juice
Instructions
- Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes, then finely slice the onion & garlic.
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the sweet potatoes, stirring, until tender for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Heat the remaining oil. Gently sauté the onion and garlic. Put the sweet potatoes back and add the curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, then add ½ cup of water. Cook, until the water evaporates and potatoes start to brown (for about 10 minutes).
- Add the spinach and cook, under cover, for 2 minutes until it wilts. Season with salt and ground pepper.
- Serve with some lemon or lime juice squeezed over it.
Tips
I didn't have any ready mixed curry powder so I created my own: ½ tsp of ground coriander ½ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground ginger, ¼tsp chilli powderCategories
