Our tested Stir-Fried Sweet Potato Side: charred, generous, and balanced with tahini and lemon. Serves 6 people with plenty to go around.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the tahini and lemon 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 stir-fry until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the sumac and the rest of the tahini and lemon flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
