Ingredients
- 300g sweet potato, peeled and chopped into 1.5-2cm chunks
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, thickly sliced
- 1 x 160g pack reduced-fat smoked pork sausage* (we used Mattesons)
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced (optional)
- 150g shredded Savoy cabbage or spring greens
- ½ tsp caraway or fennel seeds (optional)
Step by step
- Either microwave the sweet potato on High in a covered microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water for 6-8 minutes until tender, or parboil on the hob for 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes on a fairly high heat until starting to soften. Slice the sausage thickly and add to the pan, plus the garlic, if using. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until starting to colour.
- Drain the sweet potatoes well and add to the pan along with the cabbage, the caraway or fennel seeds if using and some seasoning. Add a good splash of boiling water from the kettle and mix everything well. Cover the pan and steam-fry for 5-7 minutes until everything is tender and hot – add a little more water if needed to cook the veg through.
-
Divide between warmed bowls and serve with apple sauce, if you like.
*Check your smoked sausage is gluten- and dairy-free, if required.
Waste not
Unused cabbage? Next time you cook spaghetti or tagliatelle, reduce the pasta by a quarter and add a couple of good handfuls of shredded cabbage for the last 2-3 minutes. It makes the pasta go further, and adds an extra veg to your meal.
