Thai Sweet Potato Stew with Lemongrass & Ginger Brown Rice

This stew is also delicious with chicken thighs but sweet potato provides substance and flavour in it’s place.  The flavours capture that essential flavour profile of Thai food, the contrast between the saltiness of fish sauce, acidity of lime and sweetness from sugar.

Herby Sweet Potato Chips

These sweet and spicy little wedges knock the socks off greasy fast food chips any day. If you haven’t tried sweet potatoes before, this is a great introduction recipe, where you just can’t go wrong. Serve as a nice side dish or a quick and tasty snack! If I am serving these as a side dish, I generally prepare them first and let them cook away in the oven while I get on with the rest of the dinner.
