Baked Sweet Potato With Capers, Herb Yoghurt and Eggs. Served with a Fresh Lemon, Mint & Ginger Tea
Ingredients (serves 1)
1 large soft boiled egg, (I boiled mine for 6 minutes then placed it straight into a bowl of ice cold water)
1 sweet potato
Herb Yoghurt
2 tbsp greek yoghurt
2 tsp chopped dill
1 tsp fresh mint, chopped (can also use dried mint)
2 tsp capers, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice, zest of just under half a lemon
Pinch of salt and pepper
Tea
5 mint leaves
Generous squeeze of lemon juice
3-4 thin slices of ginger
Serve with your choice of greens & chilli oil
Method
Set your oven to 190C. Wash and dry the sweet potato, place on a baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and add a pinch of salt. Roast for about an hour (depends on size of potato). It’s ready when a sharp knife can slide right though the centre.
Make your herb yoghurt by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Remove the potato from the oven, turn off the oven and let the potato cool down whilst you assemble your tea. In a teapot with a strainer, add the mint and ginger. Pour boiling water over the herbs then add a good squeeze of lemon. Let it infuse whilst you assemble your plate.
Slice across the top of the potato in the shape of a cross, then press down slightly with a fork to make a bed for the yoghurt. Dollop the yoghurt over the potato, add the egg and finish with a drizzle of chilli oil. Enjoy!
