You all know by now I love to get creative in the kitchen. And as part of organic September I was invited to create a few recipes using a range of organic produce. So I decided to base my first recipe around a savoury dish and get really stuck in with a good healthy recipe.
So after a little bit of googling I couldn’t find a dish that would do the range justice. Back to the drawing board. With many people being gluten or wheat intolerant these dishes should make a lot of you very happy indeed. Most chips and some salads have a vast amount of hidden nasties in them. The coatings on fries and even some salads will have wheat in the sauces. So with this in mind I decided to rustle up some sweet potato fries with a nifty crisp, crunchy and delicious coating and a bright rainbow salad.
My original creations went down so well last weekend when we had friends stating over. They all ran out and picked up a few packets of the oatcakes themselves. If you want to create this amazing, heathy and sumptuous salads then here is what you will need.
Organic September – Rainbow Salad Ingredients
- Organic spinach
- Organic carrots
- Red & yellow peppers
- Clearspring toasted almonds
- Edamame beans
- 1 can of Chic peas
- Fresh limes
- Nairns flax seed, chai & sunflower oatcakes
- Organic sweet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Soya sauce
Method
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into similar size chips and add a good amount of fresh ground pepper and pinch of salt.
- Pour over the olive oil and then crush the oat cakes.
- Coat the fries in the crumbs. Makes sure they are all well coated in the oil.
- Pop into the oven for 30 mins. Check half way through and shake them up so they get nice and crispy.
- Pile a large serving plate with the fresh organic spinach and then decorate it with a rainbow of colour.
- Chop up all the fresh salad. Slice the carrots with the grater and thinly chop the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the chick peas & beens.
- Sprinkle with lime juice and almonds
- Add a dash of soya sauce if needed
- Now pour a nice glass of organic fizz, sit back and let the mouthwatering munching begin. Make sure you make enough to go round as your guests will most certainly go back for seconds.
