Advantages: yummy, healthy, easy

Disadvantages: never enough!!

A disclaimer first: I've put this into speedy meals as the "chef" doesn't do much more than chop the bits up, but it does take a little while in the oven.

This is fast becoming a favourite in our house, it serves between 2 and 4, and is so easy to increase. I'll do the recipe as if I'm cooking for 2.

You will need:

Oven proof dish
1 large ish or 2 small sweet potatoes
2 bell peppers of your choice
2 red onions
4 portabello mushrooms or a punnet of chestnut mushrooms
1 packet of vine tomatoes
1 chunk (descriptive huh!) or pack of unsliced chorizo sausage
Between 3 and 7 garlic cloves, depending on your tastebuds
2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.


1) Peel and chunk the sweet potato, think bitesized pieces, smaller than a roast potato and throw into your oven proof dish with a tablespoon of oil and the garlic cloves.

2) Put the potatoes and garlic into the oven at about 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

3) Whilst the potato is in the oven dice everything else (except the tomatos), think chunks the same size as the potatoes, you want to get nice mouthfuls.

4) Bring the potatoes out of the oven after 20 mins and add the rest of the ingredients, again except the tomatoes.

5) mix together so they are evenly distributed.

6) back in the oven for another 15-20 mins, then add the tomatoes for the last 5-10 mins

serve and enjoy!

Times are based on my oven, it needs a bit of experimenting to get just right, but tastes amazing!!

Summary: A really warming dish that hits the spot!
