Baked Sweet Potato Stuffed With Turmeric Hummus
[Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Baked Potato:

1. Pre heat the oven to 355°F.
2. Scrub the sweet potato clean and dry. Lay it on a parchment-lined tray and bake for anywhere between 45 and 60 minutes depending on the size of the sweet potato. You know it is ready when it starts giving out sticky juices.

To Make the Turmeric Hummus:

1. Add all the ingredients mentioned above for the hummus into a food processor. Make sure you add the zest of the lemon as well as the juice. Start by adding half cup of water.
2. Blend till smooth in the processor. Check the texture. If it is too dry add more water. If you prefer it thicker, do not add any more water. Check the seasoning and adjust the salt and lemon juice. It should be a bright yellow color and creamy and smooth in texture.

To Make the Salad Topping:

1. Roughly chop the lettuce, spinach and herbs and mix together. Pop the pomegranate and separate the seeds.

To Assemble:

1. Carefully place the sweet potatoes on a serving platter or individual serving plates. Using a knife split the sweet potato from top to bottom but and not completely. Be careful this may be very hot.
2. Take a generous scoop of the turmeric hummus and stuff each sweet potato. Press into each sweet potato and fill in as much as possible.
3. Add a handful of the chopped green salad on top and press down into the hummus. Scatter with the pomegranate seeds and serve hot or warm.
