Sweet potato with avocado cream and wild rice

1 serving

100 minutes

Sweet potato is one of Australian chef Glen Ballis's favorite foods. He comes up with something on this theme for each of his restaurants, but never repeats himself. The version from Avocado Queen is a model of minimalism : a pillow of wild rice grains in a delicate creamy sauce at the bottom, a piece of baked sweet potato on top, and mashed avocado pulp with greens on top, which contrasts with all the other layers in texture. It's surprisingly simple, but beautiful and juicy, pure flavors and clean colors.
