My friend and I recently went to eat at The Good Life Eatery on 59 Sloane Avenue in London for lunch and I had their sweet potato dip. It was obviously so simple to make but tasted absolutely d e v i n e! I wanted to make my own so I've started by making a basic recipe which only requires a few ingredients. I've said it before and I'm not ashamed to say again that I'm completely obsessed with sweet potatoes and I'll choose them over ordinary potatoes any day of the week. This dip is perfect appetizer for dinner parties or a fantastic addition to any healthy lunch or salad.
Sweet potatoes: eating your ABC's as easy as 1,2,3. What on earth is she on about you may ask?! Well, just one cup of sweet potato packs an incredible 769% of your daily needs of vitamin A, along with fantastic doses of vitamins C and B, especially B6. These orange beauties are also a complex carb, which means they take longer to be broken down into glucose into your blood, making them a prolonged energy source that will stabilise your blood sugar levels without you craving highly sugary foods.
Makes 1 small bowl (as pictured)
1 medium sweet potato
1/2 a fresh lemon
a pinch of salt
paprika or chilli flakes to serve
chopped coriander to decorate
Method
- Peel then chop the sweet potato into small pieces. Steam for about 15/20 minutes or until really soft so you can mash with a fork.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the steamer, add the salt and lemon juice into the sweet potato and mash with a fork or a potato masher until smooth. Put into a presentable bowl and serve warm or cold with a sprinkling of paprika or chilli flakes.
Quick. Simple. Delicious.
