Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe that always brings a smile to my face. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special gathering with friends. I love how the combination of unexpected ingredients creates a delicious and memorable meal.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • purple sweet potatoes
  • plant-based ground meat
  • canned coconut milk
  • edamame beans
  • lime
  • jalapeno pepper
  • bunch of fresh cilantro
  • red onion
  • cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • grater
  • zester

Start by peeling and dicing the purple sweet potatoes into small cubes. In a saucepan, cook the plant-based ground meat until browned. Add the diced sweet potatoes, canned coconut milk, edamame beans, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Meanwhile, finely chop the jalapeno pepper, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Grate some lime zest for a vibrant burst of flavor. Once the sweet potato mixture is cooked through, stir in the chopped jalapeno, red onion, and cilantro. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Serve the dish hot, garnished with a sprinkle of lime zest. The combination of creamy coconut milk, spicy jalapeno, and earthy sweet potatoes creates a truly unforgettable flavor experience.

This dish weighs approximately 1200g in total and serves 4. Each serving weighs around 300g. With its nutritious ingredients, this dish is a satisfying and filling option for any occasion.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top before serving. The cool and tangy yogurt complements the spicy jalapeno and adds a creamy texture to the dish.

I hope you enjoy making and sharing this dish with your loved ones. Feel free to get creative and customize it to your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
