Ingredients

2 Large sweet potatoes

1/2 tsp Smoked paprika

1 tbsp Olive oil

1 tbsp Dark drown sugar

175ml Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey

2 Large ripe peaches, destoned and sliced

1 Red onion, finely sliced

3 tbsp Cider vinegar

60g Bag rocket

1 390g Tin green lentils, drained

Method

1
Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Chop potatoes into 1cm chunks, then put on a large baking tray. Mix together the paprika and oil, then drizzle over the potatoes and turn until well coated. Cook for 30 mins, tossing occasionally, until tender and beginning to colour. Set aside (the sweet potato should be served warm rather than hot).
2
Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat the sugar and bourbon over a medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat and bubble for 3 mins. Add the peach slices and simmer for 2 mins. Lift out the fruit with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bourbon mixture.
3
Add the onion and vinegar to the bourbon pan to make the dressing. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
4
In a serving bowl, toss together the sweet potato, rocket, lentils and dressing to taste.
