INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
500g yams
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons runny honey
1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
extra 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey for drizzle
handful of chopped parsley to garnish
For the Feta Whip:
200g feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup cream cheese, softened or Greek yoghurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
INSTRUCTIONS
Method
Heat the oven to 200C
Place the yams in a bowl with oil, honey and balsamic vinegar
Toss to coat the yams and spread into large roasting dish or baking tray with sides in a single layer.
Roast for 30-40 minutes until golden brown all over, turning twice during cooking.
Remove from the roasting dish and spoon any leftover marinade into a small bowl.
While the yams are cooking , make the feta whip.
Put feta cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and zest into medium bowl.
Blend together with an electric beater until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, place the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Mix the extra tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and honey with the marinade reserve from the roasting dish, to create a drizzle.
Serve the yams either with, or over the feta whip, drizzled with the marinade and sprinkled with chopped parsley.
