Tahini sweet potato & broccoli salad

Lemony tahini dressing is a transformative thing where roast vegetables are concerned, bringing delicious creaminess and brightness of flavour. Grains and greens give the whole thing extra heft.

Ingredients

  • 600g Evangeline Sweet Potatoes, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 320g Tenderstem broccoli, stems and heads separated
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes
  • 250g pouch Merchant Gourmet Spanish-style Grains
  • 25g pack mint, leaves picked

Dressing

  • 65g tahini
  • ½ unwaxed lemon, juice
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. To make the dressing, in a bowl, whisk the tahini with the other ingredients and 70ml water until smooth, then put to one side.

  2. Put the sweet potatoes, onions and Tenderstem in a large bowl and add the olive oil, cumin, salt and chilli flakes. Mix together, then spread out evenly in a large roasting tin, leaving the Tenderstem behind in the bowl, and roast for 15 minutes. Put the broccoli on top of the sweet potatoes and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, tip the grains into the bowl. Finely shred the mint and add ⅔ to the grains. Fold in the veg, then arrange on a platter. Drizzle with ½ of the dressing, then scatter with the remaining mint and a trickle more oil. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
