Sweet potato and peanut butter might sound like a bonkers pairing. Combined with the flavour powerhouses chilli, ginger and lime, the result is magical.

This was insanely delicious! Definitely going into my list of favourite recipes for when friends are over. I first baked in a deep casserole dish but found that only the top layer was really cooking, so transferred halfway through to a larger, more shallow dish, which seemed to work much better (and baked more quickly).

Absolutely delicious! Only change: after blending I sieved the coconut-Lemon-grass mixture as I wanted a smooth texture. I'll have that again very soon.

Delicious gratin with an extra kick from the chilli, lime & lemon grass .. loved by all & even 2nd portions served up .. I added a little bit of grated cheese to the top which worked well .. great recipe to use up some boring veg (ie. potatoes) .. will definitely make it again but don`t think I`ll add the chilli seeds which I did on this occasion
