Snapper with orange purple sweet potato & mayo basil with salad

Inspired by Jamie Oliver's recipe. I'm in the mood for healthy colorfull food :)

Some of the ingredients:

All you need for the sweet potato:

- medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and cut lengthways into wedges

- olive oil

- herbs, salt, pepper   

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Toss the sweet potato wedges in a roasting tray with a pinch of salt and pepper, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook in the hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Meanwhile...

All you need for the fish:

- snapper fillets

- salt and pepper

- 2 tablespoons plain flour

- eggs, beaten 

- 50g breadcrumbs 

Put the snapper fillets on a board and sprinkle over a pinch of salt and pepper and the flour, making sure they’re well coated on both sides. Dunk the floured fillets in the beaten egg then transfer them to the breadcrumbs and push and turn them until well coated on all sides. Put a large frying pan on a medium heat. Add olive oil, cook the fillet for 7-8 minutes. Use your instincts and let it cook until golden on the underside before flipping it over and reducing to a low heat while it finishes cooking

All you need for the basil mayo: 

- 4 sprigs of fresh basil

- 2 tablespoon mayonaise

- juice of ½ a lemon

(all to taste)  

  

Chop off the tough ends of the basil stalks then pound the rest of it with a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar until you’ve got a paste. Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice and muddle it all together.

And here it is...I just love food with their natural colors. Serve the snapper with a portion of sweet potato, basil mayo and  some delicious crisp red & green salad.

Easy peasy :)

PS: I got the salads, basil leaves and purple sweet potatoes from YUM's organic farm. Only for Rp.55.000,- you can have many kinds of veggies like this picture. Go check it.
