Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
2 large red onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup butter
1 bag baby spinach (between 10 ounces and 16 ounces), soaked, well-rinsed and dried

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, season potatoes with salt and pepper and toss with oil to coat. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove briefly from oven and toss in onions, and return to oven to roast until potatoes are tender, approximately another 20 minutes. Transfer roasted potato mixture to a bowl. Drizzle honey over potatoes, add butter, mixing well, and then gently toss in spinach. The heat from the potatoes will wilt the spinach.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

300ml single cream (or double cream for a really creamy texture)
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 sprigs thyme or rosemary
250g bag frozen spinach
freshly grated nutmeg
butter, for greasing
850g sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3mm thick)
25g grated hard cheese, such as cheddar, Parmesan or veggie alternative
2 lamb chops
few sprigs thyme or rosemary
1 tsp olive oil per portion

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the cream, garlic and herb sprigs into a small saucepan and slowly bring to just below boiling. Turn off the heat, season and leave to infuse.
  • Put the spinach into a colander, pour over a kettle of boiling water and leave to drain for a few mins. Then squeeze out as much water as possible. Season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish generously with butter and spread half the sweet potato slices across the bottom. Top with a layer of spinach, then the remaining potato. Pour over the cream mixture, through a sieve to remove the garlic and herbs, then sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 45-55 mins until golden and tender.
  • Meanwhile, if you're serving the chops, heat a griddle or frying pan and finely chop the leaves from the herb sprig. Rub over the chops with the oil and some seasoning, then griddle or fry for 3-4 mins on each side or until cooked to your liking. Leave bake, and chops if serving, to rest for 5 mins, then serve with a big green salad.
