Butternut and Potato with Feta and Coriander

 Vegetables........such an essential part of our diet. But sometimes I get tired of the old steamed/boiled veggies. First of all, boiling takes all the essential nutrients out of it, while steaming........well, that's a bit bland. So now we tend to look for other ways to cook our veggies. One of my favourite inspirational cooks/chefs is none other than Jamie Oliver. His style of cooking is quite infectious and makes one want to try it out. He has this series called Jamie's 30 minute meals, and it really is quick and easy but absolutely delicious.

This recipe called for sweet potatoes and plain potatoes, but as I didn't have sweet taters at hand, I decided to substitute it with butternut. So here goes.......

 Wash butternut(or sweet taters) and potatoes and leave the skin on as well. Cut it up in chunks and place it in a glass bowl. Take half a lemon, place it in the bowl with the veg, cover bowl with cling wrap and microwave till soft. 

 When veg is cooked, remove the lemon and squeeze over the butternut and potatoes. Mash up roughly with a spoon, and add a glug of olive oil, chopped chilli(to taste), chopped coriander, salt n pepper and crumble some feta cheese in too. Mix lightly and serve.......

 This is really tasty and has a new take on vegetables.........yum,yum......
