Chop walnuts medium-fine, mix with parsley and Concassée. Grate lime zest, chop chili as desired and add both to walnut salsa. Season with salt.  


Tandoori

Mix yoghurt with tandoori paste. Grate and add lemon zest. Season with salt.


Baked Sweet Potato

Place sweet potatoes onto a tray lined with parchment paper and bake in preheated oven at 160 °C for approx. 45 minutes.


Sweet Potato Crudité

Thinly grate raw sweet potatoes lengthwise on a grater. Grate lime zest and mix with potatoes. Season with salt.


Assembly

Cut and carefully break open baked sweet potatoes. Place potatoes with the open side up onto plates. Add tandoori with a spoon to the opened potato and garnish with salsa. Serve remaining salsa in a bowl with a little extra lime zest. Twist sweet potato crudité by hand into little nests and arrange on plate.
