This is a recipe my friend Jessica gave to me. When ever I have a veggie or vegan (omit the honey) friend over for dinner this is what I usually make. It’s full of delicious flavours and smells, and so moreish!!
Serves 4

- 1 onion, cut into wedges
- pinch of chili powder
- 1 tea spoon cumin seeds
- grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Take off the heat and drain.Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the remaining spices, lemon zest and juice and the honey.
