Ingredients
- 2 medium sized sweet potato
- 1 red bell pepper cubed
- ½ cup broccoli florets
- ⅛ cup parsley finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ tsp caraway seeds
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 lemon juice & zest
- ¼ cup of water
- 1 tsp fresh dill
- pinch of Himalayan salt
- Optional: ⅛ cup Feta Cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 175°C / 350°F
- Cover the whole sweet potato in 1 tbsp of coconut oil and a seasoning of salt and put into a oven tray and into the oven for 50 minutes or until the inside is soft when you put a knife into it.
- Take the sweet potato out the oven and cut a slit length ways down the centre – open the potato without ripping the rest of the skin and scoop out the ‘flesh’ of the potato and put into a bowl.
- In a frying pan heat the rest of the coconut oil with the grated garlic and caraway seeds. Leave to cook for 1 minute. Add half of the water and add the chopped broccoli florets, cubed bell pepper and parsley. Leave to cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the juice of the lemon and the flesh of the sweet potato and mix together for another 2 minutes until incorporated. Add the rest of the water to ‘loosen’ the mixture up and add the lemon zest and chopped fresh dill. Season with Himalayan salt.
- Carefully stuff the mixture back into the potato skins and serve with a sprinkle of sprouts or herbs to garnish. You could also add some feta to the top.
Is there anything else you’d add to this recipe? I can see tossing in some onion, and maybe topping it off with some avocado (but there’s probably a reason for that!). —Kristen
