750g (1lb
10oz) sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
2tbsp olive

2 onions,
finely sliced
2 garlic
cloves, crushed
12 Peppadew

- Heat the oven to 180 C, 160 C fan, 350 F, gas 4. Steam the sweet
potatoes for 10 minutes, or until tender. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a
non-stick 24cm (91/2in) ovenproof pan, rubbing a little up the
sides, and cook the onions and garlic for 5 minutes without coloring, then
remove and set aside.
- Place a layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the pan, scatter
with Peppadew slices, some of the onion mix and a little seasoning, and
pour over a layer of beaten egg. Repeat until everything is used up, then
scatter the Parmesan over the top. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes, then
place in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and crisp, and until a
skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- You can either tip it out on to a board and serve immediately cut
into wedges with lemon wedges and a rocket salad, or let it cool to room
temperature before serving. It will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
