Video Recipe

Warming and wonderful, if comfort was a dish, this would be the one - eat this at midnight, midday or anytime you want something wholesome and cosy.

Roast Sweet Potato and Giant Cous Cous Gratin with SunBlush? Tomatoes

I first made this dish for one of Delia Smith’s Food and Wine Workshops just after I’d been taught to toast giant couscous. This adds a lovely nutty flavour, which in combination with the tender sweet potatoes makes this dish irresistible. I echo the nuttiness with a scatter of crunchy almonds on top. For all the elegant flavours it is also good and gutsy, just the thing for a cold day.
