Easy Sunday great dinner idea

I love to wander around on the market, buying my fresh fruits, vegetables, protein and nuts. Today it's easy Sunday, but it's weekend as well. So I will give you a wonderful idea to have an amazing dinner without making to much of an effort! Sounds great right? ;-)


You Need:
For 2 persons

2 fish fillets
400g peas
2 big sweet potatoes
olive oil
salt, pepper
fresh basil
1tbsp creme fraîche
1 fresh lemon

I bought an amazing delicious fillet on the market, but you can use whatever fish you like.  Season your fish with salt pepper and some fresh lemon juice and set it to the side. First thing you should do is bake the potatoes.  

For the roasted sweet potatoes, cut them in slices, cubes or whatever form you like, sprinkle with olive oil, pepper and a bit of salt and bake in the oven on 225 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

Pan fried the fish with the skin side down in olive oil for 4 minutes. Get the fish out of the pan and turn it in to the oven on 200 degrees for another 6 minutes. But mine was quite thick so if you have a thinner fish, make sure you don't overcook it. When you have a normal fillet, without skin, just fried it in the pan on both sides until done (even easier).

In the meanwhile, for your amazing delicious sweet pea mash, cook the peas until done but still crunchy. I always buy some peas from the freezer and cook it for about 4 minutes. Then, when done, get rid of the boiling water, but not all!! You need a bit for the puree as well as a tablespoon of creme fraîche, salt, pepper and a few leaves of fresh basil. Puree with a blender or any other equipment until you have a gorgeous looking green sweet puree. Get everything on your plate and enjoy.

Happy Sunday xoxo

Stuffed Sweet Potato

I looooove sweet potato's and I wanted to try something out like this for ages.. well.. I'm happy I did! I guess this is one of my best ideas ever to avoid a boring lunch haha



Ingredients
2 big sweet potatoes

for the stuffing
1 tiny tin of white beans
1 onion
1 tiny tin corn
2 fresh tomato's
2 heaping spoons of cottage cheese
left over shrimps - chicken (optional)
cheese for grating on top
salt 
1 tsp sweet pepper powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Bake the sweet potato in the oven on 200 degrees for about 45-60 minutes, until completely soft. While the sweet potatoes are baking, place a skillet over medium-high heat with some oil. Fried the onion until translucent and add the beans, tomato's and spices bake until slightly browned and taste if it's seasoned well enough than add the cottage cheese, stir and turn off the heat. Remove the sweet potato from the oven and let it cool down for 5 minutes. Cut the sweet potato's in halves and scrape some of the flesh out of the potatoes. Mix it with your stuffing and than put the stuffing back in the potato. If you have left over chicken or shrimps, lay it on top and sprinkle with cheese. Turn back in the oven until the cheese is melted. 
Serve with a green salad an the remaining stuffing, enjoy!!
