3 1/2 ounces butter ,2 garlic cloves, chopped , 3 to 4 shallots, chopped,7 ounces Dried spinach leaves
A pinch of grated nutmeg, 14 1/2 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.Heat half the butter in a small pan and add the garlic and shallots. Cook gently until softened, then add the spinach and nutmeg and give it a final stir on the heat. Transfer to a sieve and drain, so that the spinach isn’t too watery when used later.Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then add the sweet potatoes and cook for about 20 minutes, or until mashable. Add the rest of the butter and the fennel seeds, season with salt and mash until smooth.Now layer half the sweet potato mash in the bottom of a pie dish, with the drained spinach on top. Spread over the goats’ cheese, and then top with the remaining sweet potato.Sprinkle the nuts and seed evenly over the top of the dish and bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Serves 4.
