Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2-6, depending on your carb servings
Ingredients:
2 medium (~300 grams each) sweet potatoes, cubed
2 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped (heaping cups)
1 small bell pepper, diced
1/2 small red onion, sliced
4 slices uncured bacon cooked and chopped
1/4 cup Mayo (see homemade Chipotle Lime Mayo recipe below)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1½ Tbsp. cooking fat of choice (ghee, avocado oil, olive oil)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Chipotle Lime Mayo Ingredients:
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 lime, juiced
⅛ tsp. chipotle powder + more to taste
Instructions:
Add 1 Tbsp. of cooking fat to a large skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add cubed sweet potatoes. Dash with a little sea salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes stirring throughout. Sweet potatoes should be cooked through. Pro tip: Cover the skillet to help speed up the cooking process!
Then add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp. cooking fat, diced pepper, sliced onion, and garlic. Sauté for another 10 minutes.
Then add kale and chopped bacon and sauté for 2-3 minutes longer until kale is slightly wilted.
Transfer to a bowl (or leave in skillet) and gently stir in Chipotle Lime Mayo. Serve warm. Leftovers can be served warm or cold for up to 5 days.
Garnish with fresh parsley and green onions, if desired.
Mayo Preparation Instructions (makes 20 servings of 1 TBSP each):
Break egg and add lemon juice into your immersion blender container. Leave to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Add 1/4 cup of oil to container. Blend until ingredients are combined.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of oil extremely slowly...the smallest drizzle at a time while blending together. This may take 2 to 3 minutes. You will eventually see the consistency of the mixture becomes more mayonnaise-like (if it doesn't, you may have added the oil too quickly.)
