Colorful Sweet Potato & Blood Orange Medley

Exploring New Flavors: A Unique Dish for Any Occasion

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that has been a recent favorite in my kitchen. This dish combines unexpected flavors and textures to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience. It’s perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner party with friends.

Ingredients:

• purple sweet potatoes (400g)
• blood oranges (2)
• fennel bulb (1)
• honey (30ml)
• pistachios (50g)
• goat cheese (100g)
• olive oil (45ml)
• salt
• black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• baking sheet
• microplane

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the purple sweet potatoes into small cubes. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the fennel bulb and segment the blood oranges. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and a splash of olive oil to create a dressing. Toss the fennel slices and blood orange segments in the dressing until well coated.

Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before assembling the dish. Arrange the roasted sweet potatoes on a serving platter, followed by the dressed fennel and blood oranges. Crumble goat cheese over the top and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.

To finish, drizzle a bit more honey and olive oil over the dish and grate some fresh black pepper using a microplane for a final touch. Enjoy this colorful and flavorful creation with loved ones!

One unique tip for this dish is to briefly toast the pistachios in a dry skillet before crushing them. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the dish.

I hope you give this unique dish a try and have fun experimenting with different flavor combinations. Let me know how it turns out for you!
