Harissa Hasselback Sweet Potato With Greek Cheese Dip

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut narrow slices (about 1cm apart) into your potato[es], making sure not to cut all the way down to the base – this is your hasselback potato

Transfer the hasselback potato[es] to a tin foil-lined baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Cover the tray tightly with tin foil and put in the oven for an initial 45 min

After 45 min, remove the tray from the oven, remove the tin foil and drizzle over your honey and harissa paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)

Return the tray to the oven, uncovered, for 10 min further or until the potato is soft and caramelised – this is your harissa & honey hasselback potato

Meanwhile, add your basmati rice and 300ml [390ml] [600ml] cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving

Peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-low heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion with a generous pinch of salt and sugar and cook for 8-10 min or until caramelised

While the onions are cooking, chop your cashews coarsely (or bash them in the bag)

Crumble your Greek cheese into rough bite-sized pieces

Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks

Strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly, discard the stems

Combine the chopped cashews and cumin seeds in a bowl with your ground sumac and black sesame seeds – this is your cashew crumble

Add your natural yoghurt to a bowl with the crumbled Greek cheese, chopped parsley, chopped mint and a grind of black pepper

Give everything a good mix up – this is your herby Greek cheese dip

Wash your spinach, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Once the onions are caramelised, add the spinach and cook for 3-4 min or until wilted

Once wilted, add the cooked basmati rice to the pan and give everything a good mix up – this is your caramelised onion rice
