Italian Sweet Potato Flatbread

This Italian Flatbread leans on chilli and pecorino to do the heavy lifting. We crisp the Sweet Potato for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Italian Sweet Potato Flatbread
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the chilli and pecorino elements, and pat the sweet potato dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the sweet potatoes and crisp until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the parmesan and the rest of the chilli and pecorino flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the cherry tomatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
