Sweet Potato Hash

This colourful hash goes well beside just about any protein you like and if you want to keep it vegetarian toss in some chickpeas or kidney beans for a hearty meal.

Ingredients:

1 sweet potato

1 medium onion, diced

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

3-4 tbsps olive oil

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp black pepper

fresh parsley

Scrub the sweet potato clean, pierce a couple of times with a fork then microwave 2-3 minutes on high so that it just starts to get soft. Set aside. 

Dice the onion and bell pepper and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet to medium high heat. Add the onion and pepper and sauté 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic for 1 minute longer. While this cooks peel and dice the sweet potato and when ready make a well in the center of the onions and peppers. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the potatoes. Cook 1-2 minutes without stirring.

Now stir together revealing the caramelized edges on the diced sweet potato. Add the seasonings. If you like toss another tablespoon of olive oil in just before serving.

And serve with fresh chopped parsley.

Makes 2-4 servings
