It's my Mums Birthday & It's a THREE RECIPES post!

---ROASTED SWEET POTATO with KALE & MAPLE BUTTER----

Preheat the oven to 180C

Chop up the sweet potatoes, and toss it with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Lay it on a baking tray and bake until the sweet potatoes are cooked through. About 25 mins or so

When it was almost cooked through, I melted the butter along with the maple syrup in a pan over medium low heat. It will thicken and then I added the walnuts and turned off the heat

Time to assemble it all. In a large bowl add the kale, then put the sweet potatoes and finally pour the maple butter... yum yum yum

The heat of the sweet potatoes and the maple butter will wilt the kale a bit... If you don't get kale in your country, use baby spinach instead

Toss it all evenly and its ready to be served.

----pan roasted lemon chicken wings-----

Take a bowl and place the washed chicken wings. To it add the mashed garlic, lemon juice, coriander powder, salt and pepper. Give it all a toss and let it marinate in the fridge for about 30mins

When ready to cook, heat some oil, and add the marinated chicken wings. Cook on medium low - high heat and toss frequently

Once cooked, transfer to a plate, garnish with the lemon wedges and coriander leaves

Deconstructed pavlova:

I used a store bought meringue from the store - it was a white chocolate cranberry meringue. I used a rolling pin and whacked it a bit so it broke into chunks of different sizes. I whipped the cream and then mixed them together. I didn't use fresh fruit, but adding freshly chopped strawberries will be yummo.
