Sweet potato wedges with Make-it-work green sauce. Katrina Meynink

This sauce came about from staring deeply into my fridge and out to my fledgling herb garden, then hoping for the best. And having a random craving for chimichurri flavours. It makes about 1½ cups and any leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Ingredients

  • 700g sweet potato

  • ½ cup Persian-style feta

  • handful of coarsely torn coriander leaves (optional)

For the Make-it-work green sauce

  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley

  • ½ cup olive oil (plus extra ¼ cup to thin sauce, if too thick)

  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

  • ¼ cup mixed herbs (whatever is in the herb garden or lurking in the crisper)

  • ¾ cup green olives (about 110g)

  • 1 green chilli, chopped (or ¾-1 tsp chilli flakes, to taste)

  • 1 tsp ground cumin (or ground coriander)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional).

    Blitz all the sauce ingredients together in a blender. The sauce should have some body but it shouldn't be thick like a relish – if you achieve a runny pesto-like consistency you are on the right track. If it seems too thick, just add a little more oil to thin it out, about a tablespoon at a time.

    Cut the sweet potato lengthways into thick wedges and roast for about 45 minutes or until cooked through and golden.

    Scatter over the Persian-style feta chunks, coriander leaves if you have them, and drizzle with Make-it-work green sauce.

    Other ideas with the Make-it-work green sauce:

    Drizzle over roasted cauliflower or other roasted proteins.

    As a stir-through sauce for a beef and vegetable stir-fry.

    Add it to scrambled eggs.

    Use as a dressing for a grain salad.

    As a marinade for chicken or lamb kebabs.
