ROASTED SWEET POTATO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
SUMAC SALSA
In a bowl, combine the diced onion, the chopped parsley, the chopped walnuts, ⅔ of the sumac spice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
A TOUCH OF FRESHNESS
In a bowl, toss together the rinsed salad leaves, the cucumber ribbons, the remaining sumac spice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
FLAVOURFUL SAUTÉ
When the sweet potatoes are done, place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic, the chilli flakes (to taste), and the chopped coriander until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Toss through the roasted sweet potato pieces. Remove from the pan and set aside.
PERFECT FISH
Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and season.
