If you've got some time on you're hands, I would have this as a lunch however it does take a while and perhaps a little extravagant for lunch so maybe better for dinner. But there's no rules for this is there?
This is a take on Jamie Oliver's original recipe, which I changed to my personal preference to give it a Mexican twist.

Super healthy ( as usual ), bursting with flavour ( as usual ) easy to make ( as usual ). I'll just get on with the recipe shall I...
Sweet potato and Chorizo Bake

Ingredients
100g sweet potato, cut into chunks
80g chorizo, finely sliced
juice 1 lime and the zest
1/2 red onion, finely diced

1/2 chicken ( or vegetable ) stock cube
120ml water
good drizzle of balsamic vinegar
good drizzle of olive oil ( about 1tbsp )
4tbsp yoghurt
30g toasted almonds, roughly chopped

Method
- Simply combine the stock and water. Add everything to a roasting tin ( except the balsamic vinegar and olive oil) and pour the stock on top.

- Halfway through the cooking time, remove the foil. Season well.
