Step 1

PREHEAT OVEN TO 200°C. BAKING TRAY. FOOD PROCESSOR. FINE GRATER OR MICROPLANE. LARGE SAUCEPAN.

Step 2

First, cook the sweet potatoes. Put the sweet potatoes on the baking tray and pierce them a few times with a fork. Rub the potatoes with a splash of oil and scatter with a pinch of salt. Put the tray in the oven and bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, until the skin has started to crisp up and the flesh is tender.

Step 3

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the Sloppy Joe filling. Dice and mince the onion, garlic, celery and carrot (or put in the processor with grater setting) Put the mushrooms in the food processor and blitz to a mince.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in the large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt, garlic, celery and carrot and cook for 5 minutes. Add the mushroom mince and vegan mince and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent and the mushroom and vegan mince have softened and browned slightly. Add the mustard and hot sauce and stir for 1 minute. Add the BBQ sauce and cook for a further 4-5 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Step 5

Take the tray out of the oven. Leave the sweet potatoes to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully slice open the sweet potatoes and gently fluff the flesh with a fork. Spoon half the filling into each of the potatoes. Halve the lime and squeeze one half over each potato. Taste and season to perfection with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley leaves. Serve immediately, with vegetable crisps and a small side salad. 668 KCAL. LOW FAT. LOW SUGAR. FULL OF FIBRE. PROTEIN PACKED.
