... and other goodies that couldn't fit in the title 😊 lime, almonds, parsley.
Another recipe quite adapted from Ottolenghi (Plenty More), but I kept the general idea. At a party, a friend was talking about how well sweet potatoes or squash (yessss, you can make this recipe with butternut squash too) go with onion. And I remembered this recipe from Ottolenghi, which stuck in my mind because of the lime. So sweet potatoes, onion AND LIME. And don't forget the almonds - you can really tell if you don't add them.
Ingredients

1 small lime

How to prepare sweet potatoes with goat cheese and marinated onion
- Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a good pinch of ground allspice. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix.
- Roast at 220°C until cooked and lightly browned (about 20 minutes). Remove and let cool.
- Meanwhile, cut the onion in half and then into thin slices. Season the onion with salt, mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze the onion of its released juice and add the lemon juice. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Finely chop the parsley, grate the lime zest over it and chop some more with the knife to mix everything together.
- Add the parsley with lime over the onion along with the olive oil. Mix. It's better if it has time to sit a bit.
- Arrange the potatoes on a platter. Crumble the goat cheese on top. Scatter the marinated onion. Sprinkle with chopped almonds. Sprinkle a little sea salt over everything and pour the liquid from the marinated onion.
