-
Heat oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas
7. Put the red pepper on a non-stick tray and roast
for 20-25 mins or until softened and the skin is
blackened. Remove the pepper from the oven and reduce the
heat to 180C/ Fan 160C/ Gas 4.
-
Put the pepper in a sandwich
bag and leave to cool slightly so the steam loosens
the charred skin. Remove and discard the skin, then chop
finely and set aside.
-
Heat the oil in a small frying
pan, add the red onion and fry for 5-6 mins over a gentle
heat until very soft, but not coloured. Stir in the red
pepper, season to taste, pour over the cider vinegar and
heat until it has all been absorbed. Remove from the heat
and set aside.
-
To make the spiralised sweet
potato: trim off each end of the sweet potato so you have
two flat surfaces. Set up the spiraliser, fix the sweet
potato in place and spiralise.
-
Weigh out 50g of the
spiralised potato and place in a bowl. Stir in the salt
and parsley and mix well. Add just enough of the beaten
egg to lightly coat the sweet potato. This will be around
half the egg, as you do not want any excess liquid.
Sprinkle the polenta over and mix until well coated.
-
Line a baking tray with
parchment. Divide the sweet potato mixture into four and
arrange on a tray in small patties around 6 cm - press
the tops to flatten slightly. Bake for 15-18 mins or until
the coating is crisp but not browned.
-
To serve, halve and lightly
toast the slider buns. Place a few spinach leaves on the
base of each bun, add a sweet potato slider, top with the
relish and if using some shavings of gorgonzola, add the bun lids and serve immediately.
