🥘 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.
