About

The Asian lime and sesame flavours in this salad are a great contrast to the rich roasted sweet potatoes. This is an unusual and substantial salad that is delicious with grilled fish. The black beans add a surprising texture. Stir them through the flavoured onion mix so that all the flavours become acquainted with each other.

Ingredients

1½ kg red (or orange) sweet potatoes cut into chunks
¼ cup sunflower oil

Method

Toss the sweet potato chunks with the vegetable oil and roast in the hottest oven, spread out evenly on a baking tray, until golden and slightly toasted on the edges. This will take 25–30 minutes.

Fry the onions over medium heat until softened and translucent – about 12 minutes. Then add the garlic, cumin seed, lime juice, sesame oil, fish sauce and honey, and cook a little more to make
