  1. HOT POTATO

    Place the sweet potato chunks in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes.

  2. QUICK PREP

    Roughly slice the mushrooms. Drain and roughly chop the capers. Rinse and trim the green beans. Rinse and roughly chop the parsley.

  3. A POP OF GREEN BEANS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trimmed green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  4. LEMONY MASH

    When the sweet potato is done, drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and toss through the roughly chopped capers, ½ of the chopped parsley and lemon juice (to taste).

  5. GERMAN JAEGER SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms until soft and golden, shifting as they colour, 3-4 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add the flour, and cook stirring constantly, 1-2 minutes. Add the stock, the cream and 50ml of water, adding more if necessary. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener (optional). Set aside and cover.

  6. PERFECT SCHNITTY

    Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the schnitzel until golden and cooked through, 30-60 seconds per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Season.

  7. GUTEN APPETIT

    Dish up the tangy mash potato and golden beef schnitzel. Pour over the German mushroom sauce and serve the green beans on the side. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Yummy!
