Description
.

Ingredients

 * One large or several small sweet potatoes
 * 14 ounces corn kernels, fresh, frozen or canned (drained)
 * 2 cups gluten-free cornflakes
 * 1/2 cup chopped onion
 * 1/2 cup chopped green and red capsicum (bell pepper)
 * 2 tablespoons margarine
 * 1 cup grated low-fat tasty cheese
 * 1/4 cup sharp parmesan, grated
 * A few pieces of lemon grass
 * Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

 * Boil the sweet potatoes in water containing lemon grass. When they're soft, fish out the lemon grass and throw it away. Mash the sweet potatoes. You need two cups of mashed sweet potato.

Gently cook onions, capsicums and 2-tablespoons of margarine in a medium saucepan. Do not brown. Stir in corn and sweet potato and half the cornflakes. Blend all together and put in greased casserole dish.

Sprinkle over the top in this order: remaining cornflakes, parmesan cheese and grated tasty cheese. Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for about 45 minutes until nicely browned on top. Reheats well.

Recipe makes six servings.

Notes:

You can use pumpkin in this recipe instead of the sweet potatoes, if you like, but leave out the lemon grass.

Look for cornflakes which don't contain malt. If you can't find any, instead use breadcrumbs made with gluten-free bread (home-made or from health shop).
