Sweet Potato and Tenderstem Broccoli Hash

Sweet potato and Tenderstem broccoli make a delicious and nutritious combination that’s packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre.

The sweet flavour and tender texture of the Tenderstem and sweet potato make this dish a good choice and helps you well on your way to your five-a-day.

Serves: 4 adults

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 35 minutes

You’ll need:

750g sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

200g Tenderstem broccoli, halved widthways

1 tbsp olive oil

6 rashers dry cure streaky bacon, cut into pieces

1 red onion, thinly sliced

4 eggs, poached or fried, to serve

What to do:

To make the hash, steam the sweet potatoes for 10 minutes. Add the Tenderstem to the sweet potatoes and cook for a further 4 minutes until both vegetables are just tender.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the bacon and onion for 5 minutes until the onions have softened.

Add the sweet potato and Tenderstem to the pan, pat down with a wooden spoon and cook for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring once or twice to break up the golden crust that forms on the bottom.

Spoon the hash onto plates and top each serving with an egg.

Perfect poached eggs

The secret to a good poached egg is to use the freshest eggs possible. Fill a non-stick frying pan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack in the eggs (make sure they sit below the surface of the water) and cook gently for 3 – 8 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking. Drain with a slotted spoon and serve.

TIP

Try adding a handful of grated Cheddar to the hash at the end of step 3.

To help reduce the fat, saturated fat and salt try using grilled back bacon instead.
