Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast the Veg
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Halve and peel the red onion, then cut one half into 4 wedges.

Put the sweet potato chunks and onion wedges onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle over half the Central American style spice mix. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Get Pickling
2

Meanwhile, halve the lime. Slice the remaining red onion as thinly as you can. Pop it into a small bowl and squeeze in half the lime juice. Add a pinch of salt, mix and set aside to pickle.

Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve, then dry thoroughly with kitchen paper.

When the sweet potato has 20 mins remaining, add the chickpeas to the baking tray. Spread into an even layer. Return the baking tray to the oven for the remaining time. 

Pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. Roast the parcel on the middle shelf, 10-12 mins.

Make the Dressing
3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the remaining lime juice, olive oil for the dressing and half the honey (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper

Once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork. Add the garlic to the dressing bowl. Stir well and set aside.

Fry the Prawns
4

Drain the prawns. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the prawns. Sprinkle over the remaining Central American style spice mix. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 4-5 mins.

Once cooked, drizzle over the remaining honey and turn to coat. Remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Toss the Salad
5

Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes.

In a large salad bowl, add the tomatoes, sweet potato, roasted onion and chickpeas. Pour over the yoghurt dressing. Toss well to combine.

Carefully fold through the rocket.  

Serve
6

When everything's ready, divide the salad between bowls.

Top with the prawns and spoon over any remaining juices from the pan.

Scatter over the pickled onion

Serve the salad with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
