Inspiration for recipes usually come to me when I am wandering through my local green grocer, something usually catches my eye. Sweet mangos, a nice big bunch of the greenest kale or more recently a little guy yelling at the top of his lungs “peach, pe ach, peach, muuuum, peach…..”
This inspiration for this recipe however was stuck to my bulk box of sweet potatoes. Easy. I altered it a lot and the results are delicious. I hope you like it…
H and I eat quite a lot of kale. I tend to cook it and chop it finely and incorporate it into dishes. In this recipe is it left raw and simply torn into pieces and dressed.
H is unlikely to eat it this way but he will try it and thats the main thing. He will eat the sweet potato, onion and he absolutely loves parmesan cheese.
