A tasty vegetarian recipe: Stuffed sweet potatoes, spiced chickpeas and kale (easy vegan meal). To serve with its lemon tahini sauce prepared in 2 minutes ...

This pretty recipe, I borrowed it from Maud Baroudeuse Culinaire, my Breton colleague, author of book "Bretagne Végétale" (Ouest-France editions). It is also in this book that I discovered this sweet potato recipe. I immediately wanted to make it so much the flavors speak to me. This is the recipe that I give you below, made by making some modifications.

Here some roasted chickpeas with spices accompany the roasted sweet potatoes. Of fresh kale (a super food packed with vitamins), coriander, and all washed down with a delicious tahini sauce (sesame based). A rather simple recipe to make, which does not require special equipment. It holds really well for lunch or dinner!

How to make these stuffed sweet potato recipe?

We start by roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven (cut in half) for about 30 minutes depending on their size. We want them to be very tender, ready to be tasted.

At the same time, the drained chickpeas are mixed with spices and olive oil. Personally I did not use the spice mixture mentioned in the book because I do not have any (kari gosse), I used curry powder in place. All you need to do is roast them for 15 minutes and they will be ready.

While the potatoes and chickpeas are in the oven, you can chop the fresh kale and fresh cilantro. Then we prepare the lemon tahini sauce.

To assemble, place a little chopped kale and coriander on the sweet potatoes, then the roasted chickpeas. We then coat with sauce and it's ready to be tasted.

My tips for a successful lemon tahini sauce

First of all, you need tahini (you can find it in organic coop or organic departments in stores). I choose my colored tahini rather clear, because I prefer its flavor to the darker one.

I add the juice of a whole lemon, I mix vigorously with a fork so that the mixture becomes homogeneous and clearer. Then I add cold water (it is important that it is cold) until you obtain the desired texture, creamy but light.

Usually I use crushed garlic, but for this recipe I followed the advice in the book by adding miel. Finally, I added some curry. Here it is ready!
