1
In a large pan fry the chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of the oil until golden. Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into 2.5cm cubes and add to the pan with enough water to just cover.
2
Add spices, a little salt and 2 more tablespoons of oil. Cook until the potato pieces are tender, and the liquid reduced to a sauce, turning the potatoes over.
3
Serve the salad at room temperature mixed with green olives to taste and the preserved lemon rind if wished. Sprinkle with lemon juice and chopped parsley.
