Soy sauce (kikkoman) 60ml 

Lime juice & zest 1.5 

Fresh chilli deseeded and finely chopped 1/2 

Honey 25g 

Coconut milk 100ml

Pomegranate 1 

Fresh coriander 

Pickled red onion - refer to monkfish recipe  

Crispy onion or shallot 

Toasted sesame seeds  

Lime 1/2 Fresh 

chilli deseeded and finely sliced 1/2  

Start by peeling and slicing your sweet potato into discs 2-3cm thick, lay them out onto a metal baking tray, carefully spike each disc with a knife a few times. Season well with cumin salt on both sides and leave to sit.

Preheat your oven to 180c

Take the dried spices for the potato and toast in a dry frying pan on a low heat for around 2min, add the sesame oil & garlic and cook for a further 1min, remove from the heat and add the butter, soy and honey, if your pan is to hot add a splash of water. 

Remove any liquid from the potato with a dry tea towel then cover with the spiced butter mixture, place in the oven for around 10-20 minutes until the potato is starting to soften.

While the potato is partially cooking make your satay sauce by placing all the ingredients into a bowl and mixing together, be careful not to over work the sauce as it can split, add more coconut milk or water to adjust to preferred consistency, more or less lime, soy & chilli to your preferred flavour preference. Its up to you.

Give the potato a turn on the tray, coating it in the spiced butter mix before placing onto a medium heat bbq grill for around 6-7 minutes

Take a large serving plate and cover with the satay sauce, place the chargrilled potato and layout on top, garnish generously with the other ingredients.
