Recipe for 4 people · Preparation time: approx. 25 minutes
Ingredients:
800 g sweet potatoes
100 g onion (= 1 medium-sized)
200 g red bell pepper (= 1 large)
15 g garlic (= approx. 3 cloves)
50 g arugula (= 2 handfuls)
100 g sour cream (18% fat)
1 g chili (= ½ small fresh chili pepper or ½ tsp chili flakes or ½ tsp chili powder)
100 ml vegetable broth
40 ml canola oil (= 3 tbsp)
8 g ground cumin (= 2 level tsp)
6 g fermented red cabbage powder (= 2 level tsp)
2 g lemon zest (= 1 level tsp) or 1 dash of lemon juice
Salt and pepper from the mill
Canola oil for frying the sweet potato skins
1. Peel the sweet potatoes lengthwise with a vegetable peeler to create wide strips of skin. Set the skins aside. Cut the flesh into 2 cm cubes.
2. Peel the onion and cut into 0.4 cm cubes. Cut the bell pepper into 0.5 cm cubes. Finely chop the garlic. Wash the arugula, spin dry, and cut into strips.
3. Heat a large pot (approx. 3 l). Add 2 tbsp canola oil. Sauté the sweet potato cubes with the onions for about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper cubes and garlic and sauté briefly.
4. Deglaze with vegetable stock and cook for 4–5 minutes. The sweet potato cubes should still be al dente. Add chili (fresh, flakes, or powder) and cumin and cook for 1 minute.
5. Mix sour cream with lemon zest or lemon juice, red cabbage powder, pepper, and salt if needed.
6. Fry the sweet potato skins in hot rapeseed oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and lightly salt.
7. Fold the arugula into the ragout. If necessary, season again with salt and pepper.
