Ingredients
- 8 small sweet potatoes, washed & skin on
- 2 red capsicums
- 2 corn on the cob
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- ½ tsp chopped chilli
- Juice 1 lime
- Salt & pepper
- 1 camembert cheese, sliced into 8 wedges
- 4 orange slices, to garnish
- 300g red onion, sliced thinly
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice 1 orange
- 1 tbsp seeded mustard
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ red cabbage, sliced thinly
- ¼ green cabbage, sliced thinly
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1 white onion, sliced thinly
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped chives
- ¼ cup chopped mint
- Juice 2 lemons
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Place sweet potatoes and red capsicums onto a baking tray.
- Bake sweet potatoes for 30-40 mins until a skewer easily goes through the flesh.
- Bake the capsicum until the skin chars. Remove and place in a bowl, cover with cling wrap. Let capsicum sweat and cool down. Remove skins and seeds, dice and set aside.
- In a heavy-based saucepan, add all the ingredients for the onion jam. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 mins until the onions are soft and the mixture is jam like. Remove from heat, place in a bowl and set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to the simmer. Cook corn for 5 mins then place in bowl of ice-water to cool.
- Remove kernels from cob and add to capsicum. Mix in onion, chilli and lime and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set salsa aside.
- To make cabbage slaw, add cabbage, carrot, onion and herbs to a bowl. Whisk together remaining ingredients and add to cabbage mix, combining well.
- Split open the sweet potatoes and place a wedge of camembert cheese in the centre, top with onion jam and place back in the oven for 5 mins for cheese to soften and become gooey.
- Serve the sweet potatoes with slaw and salsa and garnish with orange slices.
