Serves 4

2 decent sized orange sweet potato, peeled and cut into small pieces
olive oil spray
2 tablespoons blanched almonds
2 tablespoons walnut pieces
2 tablespoons hazelnuts
2 tablespoons sunflower kernels
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, quartered
1 teaspoon honey
150g baby spinach leaves

Preheat oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Put the sweet potato on tray and spray with olive oil spray. Roast in oven for 40 minutes or until soft and light brown.

At the same time, spread the almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts on another baking tray and keep the hazelnuts separate from the others. Bake in oven for 5 minutes. Add the sunflower kernels and bake for 2-3 minutes or until lightly toasted. Put aside to cool.

Use a tea towel to rub the skins off the hazelnuts and then chop all the nuts and put in a bowl with the sunflower kernels.

Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic and honey in a jar and shake together. Put aside for 15 minutes or so, and then take the garlic out and throw it away.

Put the sweet potato and spinach in a big bowl and drizzle the dressing over and toss. Sprinkle the nuts over the top and eat it with bread.

Marinated Fish Salad

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup lime juice
4 tablespoon finely chopped coriander
4 firm white fish fillets
lettuce leaves
1 white onion, slice into rings
420g or 14oz canned orange segments, drained

Dressing
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small fresh red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic crushed
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.

Methods:
1)Combine lemon and lime juice and coriander in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Add fish, cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, turning occasionally.
2)To make dressing, place ginger, chilli, garlic, oil and pepper in a screwtop jar and shake to combine.
3)Arrange lettuce leaves on serving platter. Drain fish and arrange on top of lettuce leaves. Pour dressing over and top with onion rings and orange segments.

TIP:
[i]U wil find that d fish turns opaque after marinating in citrus juices b'coz of d acidity of the juices. Try to eat fish at least 2x a week. Fish is an excellent food, high n protien, vitamins and minerals, but low in fat and cholesterol. This marinated fish salad is ideal for weight and cholesterol watchers alike.

The fish turns opaque because the acid in the citrus juice actually cooks the fish. It also gives the fish a wonderful flavor.
