Cooking Tips

Add sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time:
When making meringues and some cakes, sugar is best slowly added to beaten egg whites. This serves to increase the stability of the foam. Sugar, however, can retard the foaming of the whites and must be added slowly so as not to decrease the volume. Beat the whites until foamy, and then slowly beat in the sugar.

Corn and Tuna Sweet Potatoes

Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 x 500 g sweet potatoes
2 x 125 g can corn kernels, drained
185 g tuna, drained
2 tbsp chopped parsley
4 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup finely grated tasty cheese
Salad leaves, or steamed green vegetables, to serve

Method:
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Place the sweet potatoes onto an oven tray, and bake for 50-60 minutes, until tender (test with a pointed knife in the side). Remove from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, cut in half horizontally. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1 cm in the skin.

Mash the sweet potato with a fork, and add the corn, tuna and parsley. Stir in the eggs, and season to taste. Place the sweet potato shells onto an oven tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Spoon the mixture into the sweet potato shells (if the shells are very soft, prop the sides with a little folded foil). Sprinkle cheese on top.

Bake for 25 minutes, until set and golden. Serve immediately, with salad or steamed green vegetables.

Tips: Any leftover filling can be put into a greased ovenproof ramekin and baked along side the sweet potatoes. If you like, use tuna in chilli oil. For a spicy twist add chilli to the mix
