🥘 How To Make Jamie Oliver Sweet Potato Mash 30 Minute Meals
- Preparation: Start by washing the sweet potatoes and trimming off any rough parts. Stab them a few times with a knife to help them cook evenly.
- Cooking: Place the sweet potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cut one lime in half and add it to the bowl. Cover the bowl with a double layer of clingfilm and microwave on full power for 12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through.
- Finishing the Mash: Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the microwave. Use tongs to squeeze the juice from the hot lime halves over the sweet potatoes and then discard the lime halves.
- Mashing: On a large wooden chopping board, finely chop the coriander, setting a few leaves aside for garnish. Add the mango chutney, a good splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and the juice from half a lime to the board. Chop and mix everything together. Carefully tip the cooked sweet potatoes onto the board and use a knife or masher to chop and mash everything together, including the skins. Season the mash with more fresh lime juice if needed.
- Serving: Serve the mash warm, garnished with the reserved coriander leaves.
💭 Recipe Tips
- Cooking Sweet Potatoes: Make small holes in the sweet potatoes with a knife before you cook them in the microwave. This helps them cook all the way through and stops them from popping.
- Preparing Limes: Warm the limes with the sweet potatoes in the microwave. This makes the limes softer and easier to squeeze.
- Making the Mash: Mash the sweet potatoes with their skins on to add more fiber and make the mash smoother. You can use a masher or a big fork.
- Adding Soy Sauce: Put a little soy sauce in at first, then add more slowly. This helps mix the sweet from the mango chutney and the sour from the lime well.
- Using Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh coriander and lime juice. They make the mash taste much better.
