Ingredients
- 4 small sweet potatoes, each wrapped in foil
- 200 g Boursin or goat’s cheese, optional
- 1 large handful whole almonds (ideally smoked)
- 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- 1 French shallot, finely chopped
- 1 orange, segmented
- Lemon halves and crusty bread, to serve
Dressing
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
1. Place the whole sweet potatos in the hot coals and cover with more coals so they cook evenly. Cook for 30 minutes or until soft. Remove from the coals and cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, bake in an oven). Peel the skin off (or leave it on, if you like) and roughly chop into big chunks. Place in a bowl.
2. For the dressing, place the mustard, red wine vinegar and olive oil in a jar and shake well to emulsify. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Add the cheese (if using), almonds, parsley, tomato, shallot and orange to the sweet potato along with dressing. Toss. Serve with lemon and bread.
