Don’t you just love it when two vegetables meet and it literally becomes love at first bite?! I have recently found this between kale and sweet potato. For me, flavour is everything in a dish- …closely followed by texture! Even as a child it was all about taste, I would raid my parents’ spice rack adding a little bit of ‘this’ and ‘that’ to enhance the flavour. I loved working out what worked well together and learned very quickly (as did my poor family) what didn’t!
I adore meat and could never give it up, however I will admit that sometimes a dish is better off without it- especially the one I am about to share. This is a one pan dish that can go from pan to plate in under 25 minutes. It’s a dish that’s perfect for sharing with one or two others. We regularly have it after a long day at work or on a Sunday for brunch with steaming hot mugs of fresh mint tea out in the garden. However you choose to have it, it’s a dish I can guarantee you will enjoy and have again… And again.
This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, meat-free, sugar-free and suitable for paleo and vegetarian diets.
Serves 4 | Prep time 10 mins | Cook time 15 mins |
- 230g Sweet Potato, de-skinned and grated
- 240g Red Onion
- 2 Large handful kale, chopped and washed
- 3 Large eggs (add an extra egg if you are serving for 4)
- 3 Garlic cloves
- ½ tsp Sea salt
- ½ Lime, juice
- 1 tsp Coconut oil
- Small handful coriander
- In to a food processor with the “grating” attachment, grate the 230g sweet potato (or grate by hand if you do not have a food processor)
- Finely chop red onion and garlic
- In to a non stick frying pan over high heat place 1 tsp coconut oil
- Add in grated sweet potato and fry off until it softens (2-3 mins)
- Add in red onion and garlic and continue to fry (3-4 mins)
- Add in salt and place kale on top to steam a little before mixing in (it will reduce in size pretty quickly)
- Now press the mix firmly down and turn the heat down to medium (as you do not want the bottom to burn)
- Crack 3 eggs on to the top and leave to cook through (5-6 mins)
- You can finish the dish off under the grill if you like a crispy top (I don’t usually do this though as I prefer the yolks to be runny)
- Once cooked through squeeze ½ lime juice over the dish and add chopped coriander and cracked black pepper / dried chilli to taste
- Serve immediately
