Prepare

Scrub sweet potatoes

Scrub sweet potatoes, leave the skin on and prick several times with a fork.

Cook

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 200°C conventional.

Put the whole sweet potatoes

Put the whole sweet potatoes on a tray and bake for 50 minutes until a knife slides through the centre without resistance.

Drain cooked brown lentils in a sieve

Drain cooked brown lentils in a sieve, rinse and drain thoroughly. Rinse flat-leaf parsley, shake dry and finely chop the leaves and tender stems.

Put couscous in a heatproof bowl

Put couscous in a heatproof bowl; pour over an equal volume of boiling tap water, cover and leave off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Heat rapeseed oil in a pan

Heat rapeseed oil in a pan over medium heat; add cooked brown lentils and fry for 2 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened and lightly browned. Lower the heat.

Add ground cumin and stir

Add ground cumin and stir for just 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to let anything darken. Add canned peeled tomatoes to the same pan and stir well.

Bring to the boil

Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently for 8 minutes until the firm ingredients are tender, stirring occasionally.

Mix unsweetened soy yogurt alternative thoroughly

Mix unsweetened soy yogurt alternative thoroughly in a separate bowl. Add tap water a spoonful at a time if needed for a spreadable or pourable sauce; set aside until assembly.

Season with iodised salt

Season with iodised salt, black pepper and flat-leaf parsley, then mix thoroughly before serving.

Split the tender baked whole sweet potatoes

Split the tender baked whole sweet potatoes lengthways without cutting through. Fluff the centres with a fork and fill with the prepared cooked brown lentils, couscous and canned peeled tomatoes.
