Goats Cheese, Caramelized Red Onion and Hazelnut Sweet Potato Bake.

That title is a little bit of a mouthful but honestly I made this up the other day and actually think it's the best dish I have ever made. It is so tasty. If you are a fan of Goats Cheese, you will love this!


Ingredients


2 Large Sweet Potato's

Goats Cheese (you want a good size wheel - see photos) 


1/3 Cup Hazelnuts (slightly crushed)


1 Red Onion
Balsamic Vinegar
Oil


1 Chopped Tomato's
2 Tablespoons of Tomato Paste
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 Teaspoon of Basil
2 Tablespoons of Cream Cheese




This is a little bit of a time consuming dish; 30 mins preparation time and about 15 - 20 mins to cook. 


Once you have all your ingredients laid out pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees celsius. Then, peel and cut the Sweet Potato in to discs (about 1/2 inch thick) and boil them until pretty much cooked.


While this is happening, cut your Red Onion into slices and place in a pan and cook together with a dash of oil and a good amount of Balsamic Vinegar. It is important to do this on a low heat and cook gradually until the onion is soft and sweet. Add more Balsamic if it seems dry. 


Next, open your can of Chopped Tomato's and place into a bowl. Add the Tomato Pure, Garlic, Basil and Cream Cheese. Mix together to create a tomato sauce. 


You can now cut your Goats Cheese into discs that will go on top of the bake. And, also, have your partly crushed Hazelnuts ready.

Place a layer of the sweet potato discs in the bottom of the tray to start. Then add some of the tomato mixture on top (above).

Then, put another layer of the potato discs (above) followed by another layer of the tomato mixture.

On top of the second tomato layer, add the goats cheese discs, caramelised red onions and hazelnuts (above).

...and place in oven for about 15 mins on 190 degrees celcius, or until ready (above).

Delicious.
