A touch of Brazil (Vegan)

Celebrate the Olympics season with my simple but Exquisite & Healthy (slow-cooker) recipe

Sweet Potatoes, Coriander, Garlic and Coconut Milk, just remind me of my business trip to the North of Brazil, A  fully certified Organic and Macrobiotic retreat. My dish brings all these ingredients together with local flavours, slowly cooked and so very delicious. Can be served as a main or side.
