Sweet potato with feta and orange sauce

salmon cakes

One of my favourite autumn treats is the sweet potato which can add richness, texture and flavor in any dish. My great grandmother was serving them boiled with some butter and a tbsp of quince spoon sweet on top as a desert. In my recipes I would add it to a chick pea soup or mash it with some smoked fish, since I find this sweet and savoury combination very stimulating to my taste buds.

This time I made a quick and easy recipe; one sweet potato baked in the oven (and speared several times with a skewer in order to speed up the cooking time) for half an hour and when cooked, halved and topped with feta cheese marinated in orange juice, toasted fennel and cumin seeds, spring onions and olive oil.
