Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper
1 small brown onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
300 g button mushrooms, halved
300 g Swiss Brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp unsalted butter
200 g baby spinach
1 cup natural yoghurt
2 tbsp finely chopped mint
2 tbsp finely chopped dill
1 lemon, zest & juice
1 small red onion, finely sliced
2 large dill pickles, finely sliced into rounds
Handful mint, parsley, dill leaves
Pinch sumac, optional
To serve
Lemon wedges

Method

1

Preheat an oven to 210°C. Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and rub with 1 tbsp of olive oil and some salt. Place on a baking tray and roast for 45–50 minutes, until soft.

2

Meanwhile, combine the yoghurt, herbs, lemon and a little seasoning in a small bowl and set aside.

3

When the potatoes are close, place a large pan over medium–high heat and add the remaining olive oil, the brown onion, garlic, mushrooms, spices and a little salt. Cook, stirring often, to begin cooking the mushrooms, approx. 2 minutes. Then add the butter and continue to cook for another minute before adding the spinach to just wilt through.

4

Combine the red onion, pickles, herbs and sumac in a bowl.

5

Place the potatoes onto serving plates, split open the potatoes with a knife and gently break with flesh with a fork. Spoon over them the cooked mushrooms, some yoghurt, and scatter over with the pickle salad. Serve with lemon wedges.
