Sweet jacket pot 3ways

Sweet potatoes are a students best friend, it seems like they are immortal ontop of being so damn delicious! And I'm sure there's some kind of nutrients in there that can attempt to save us from scurvy. 
So here's my 3 course meal on one plate. Prawn starter, chicken main and cinnamon dessert. 
Prawns were dipped in hot sauce and then flour, dusted and griddled under pressure (not the Gordon Ramsey kind...more like a cast iron lid) 
The chicken was a sandwich filler tikka thing left by top notch and ever naked housemate Dillon. 
As for the cinnamon, well...  I reckon it's one if the flavourings for sweet potato pie but I currently don't have the energy to find out. Regardless it is insaaane coupling!!

AonT (dinner)

After seeing the buzzfeed post on sexy ways to have avocado on toast I thought I want in, however when I looked again they were all simple/boring sounding recipes so I decided to chuck my left over quorn chilli on and grilldle a few slices of the creamy green for the top. 
Dollop of sour cream to serve. 

AonT

So I've found recently discovered Avocado on toast is a ting (thanks to Buzzfeed) And I'm now experimenting.

A whole avocado mashed with plenty of S&P and a dash of lemon juice

I considered chucking some sweet chilli sauce in there but it was grand without 👌

This is some Gourmet Shit

I made myself and the Captain some gourmet burgers from the Aldi haul. 

Mince, S&P, Dijon & Wholegrain mustard, grated red onion, a few bread crumbs and an egg. 
Form into patties and griddle.
Warm/toast brioche burger buns.

Slice onion into rings, put into a bag with flour and sugar. Shake and dust, fry off until golden and crispy. 

I had goats cheese, red onion chutney, burger pattie, onion rings & salad.

My other consisted of sour cream & chive dip with Brie, onion & chive cheese, pattie, rings & salad. 

Oozing, fresh, decadent goodness. 
The brioche buns are a must have! 

Quick eastern rice

Warm garlic cloves with skin on in a dry pan. 
Remove from pan and add oil.
Add minced chillies, chopped garlic and prawns. 
Salt, pepper, lemon juice, soy and sweet chilli sauce. 
Chuck in cooked rice ("Dine In" 2mins in the microwave), crack in an egg and fold everything together. 
Grate on frozen scotch bonnet peppers and season with soy to taste. 

Quick, cheap, yum.
