Spices, Herbs, Spice ClassesThis is a recipe that I have been using for a long time. Being a kiwi I love my Kumara and sweet potatoes. For this recipe I used the gold sweet potato as the colour is better. The purple sweet potato or Kumara, turns a grey colour and doesn’t look very appealing!

  • 1 large gold sweet potato cubed
  • 1.5 Tbsp (tablespoon) organic coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp Chermoula paste or dip
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 large cloves of fresh garlic or a large squeeze of garlic paste
  • Extra coconut oil or water
  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  • Turn oven on to 180oC (fan forced).
  • In a large bowl mix sweet potato cubes and 1 Tbsp coconut oil together and lay on large oven tray.
  • Cook in oven for 15 mins or until cooked. Do not allow to burn.
  • Meanwhile cook onion and 0.5 Tbsp coconut oil until soft and golden.
  • Add garlic and Chermoula spice and cook for another minute.
  • Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • You will probably need more moisture in there so you can either add water or more coconut oil. I prefer using coconut oil.
  • When you have the consistency right, season with salt and pepper.
  • Allow to cool before covering and refrigerating.
  • Serve with toasted, crispy flat-bread. Enjoy!
