• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel sweet potato and cut into large chunks. Cook sweet potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter to sweet potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm. • Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim green beans. Crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin.

Set aside. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot and green beans with a splash of water, tossing, until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add baby spinach leaves and half the garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
