SWEET POTATO & TURMERIC LOAF
Sep 15, 2016This recipe came about as a throw together of ingredients I had plus a recipe from The Healthy Chef - Theresa Cutter that I wanted to try. Hers was a pumpkin loaf however I had a sweet potato left over from my organic delivery from Edi Grocer and I also had some turmeric and ginger pulp left over from making Jamu for my cooking class last weekend. I also substituted almond meal for hazelnut meal. The result is really yum if you are someone that likes a savoury loaf and I have been toasting it and enjoying with tahini, organic cultured butter, ricotta, avocado and lemon and it would also be yum with a date and cinnamon paste but that one I will have to try after my 21 Day Detox is finished!
