Hi folks,
Well I had a nice simple meal tonight with lots of my favourite veggies and I topped it with white and sweet potatoes, garlic and grated Feta cheese to give to an extra bite.
I hope everyone enjoys their evening. π

Great combination Jerry..πEnjoy your meal..
Thank you avoid-sugar, I did...π
Hi Hidden ,
Your meal looks really good. Nice that you've got the garlic and grated Feta cheese for extra bite.

Thank you Zest.π
That looks delicious! Is it hard to prepare?
Hi CatsHelpMe, thank you and it is quite easy, I used red onion, fennel, chilli, green pepper, tender stem broccoli, baby leeks and carrots for the filling, which I gently cook the onions, pepper and chilli in some olive oil then add the other washed veg + seasoning and leave them to cook gently together whilst I cooked the white potatoes with sweet potatoes and garlic and when they were just cooked I added the water to the veg. Mashed the potatoes and added grated Feta. Put the veg in a large oven dish and covered with the mash and topped with sliced vine tom's and baked for approx 1/2 hour. π
That sounds like something I can do! I don't cook much because I get home too late from work... but I need to try this. Thank you!
I'm trying to go vegan... what if I replace the feta with a touch of nutritional yeast?
That would work well as it would give the mash a great flavour. π
Ifyou are short on time to cook a meal, have a cooking day one day a week, cookloads of meals (just double or tripple the portions, freeze what you want to eat through the week,pop it in a 30min ping machine (Microwave) Jobs a good one. Not only does it save time you know exactly what has gone into it, and you save a small fortune on ingredients and on prep/cooking time. well worth the extra effort required initially.
Hi Hidden ,
That looks fantastic! I love sweet potatoes with any meal. I actually had sweet potatoes recently with my dinner a few nights ago and had a side salad to go with them.
thanks Leah, I love sweet potatoes too and they're very versatile so with a salad would be great.π
Is that potato + sweet potato mashed together?
I have a glut of sweet potatoes at the moment (we grow them for the green tops, not the tubers). A couple of weeks ago I dug one up out of curiosity and made mash with it (just butter, cream, salt + pepper). It was great.
You would normally leave a sweet potato in the sun for a week or so ('curing'), which causes them to metabolise some of their starch into sugar; that's why sweet potatoes are sweet. In this case it had a texture and flavour almost identical to a regular potato. I'm thinking I have a new potential product here Regular potatoes won't grow in the tropics.
Hi TheAwfulToad, I cooked 2 med potatoes and one large sweet potato together with some finely chopped garlic, then I mashed it with a little goats butter and goats milk and then added grated Feta and then baked.
Your home grown sweet potatoes sound really good but I buy mine so don't have to worry about curing them so just have to cook them LOL. But fresh from the garden sound a real treat to me. π
That sounds 100% delicious. I'll have to try that (feta with mash). You don't keep your own goats...?
Thanks and no I live in the city, I find goats butter and milk easier to digest as its molecules are the same size as human milk.
Yum! π€€π€€π€€
