This recipe by Heleen Meyer, screams winter comfort food. It’s perfect for this cold weather we’re having. The creamy coconut sauce with chunks of vegetables and chickpeas will warm you up from the inside out. If you’re not a fan of brinjal (also called aubergine, or egg plant), use cauliflower florets as an alternative – they’re equally delicious in this recipe.
Everyone knows a jacket potato as a side dish, and it’s often served with dollops of sour cream. Heleen Meyer has a mouth-watering healthier alternative, with just as much (and even more) flavour. When roasting sweet potatoes, their natural sweetness becomes even more prominent. Preparing them in the skin adds colour and fiber to your meal and it’s so much quicker to prepare – no peeling necessary and no waste.
Heleen Meyer shows us how to make the most of carrots. The naturally sweet flavour of carrots allows you to do so many things with them, whether they are raw or cooked. You can boil, blanch, stir-fry, roast and even bake with them.
In this easy, delicious side dish, the naturally sweet taste of carrots and sweet potatoes is even better when these vegetables are roasted in the oven.
Serve this simple but very flavourful side dish with braaied fish, pork or grilled chicken.
