Roast sweet potato with fresh figs

This is more or less nabbed from Yotam Ottolenghi’s fantastic book, Jerusalem – grab a copy if you don’t have one yet, it’s a stunner.

The sweet, ripe figs and baked sweet potato work together so well, I’m surprised this isn’t a kitchen staple in every household. Apart from being very pretty, this dish is easy to whip and and extremely delicious.
