This was another dish that I have been wanting to try for a while. I like the chipotle chilli flakes that I use in other seasonings to complement it. Chipotle really goes well with sweet seasoning like honey and BBQ sauces.
This time though I used maple syrup which is absolutely delicious and goes really well with the potatoes (I have always wanted to try maple syrup in food. In addition, I have managed to get a chipotle paste to mix in with the maple syrup rather than just using the flakes. Instead the flakes were used as a garnish (as well as the arbol flakes).
Then you have the fluffy light mash potato full of buttery flavour and herbs. As well as mashing the potatoes with butter and milk you can also use a liquidiser to ensure that you get rid of all of the milk.
Then you have the velvety taste of the green spinach which goes with all of the food as well as the bright yellow crunchy sweet corn. Absolutely delicious meal to have in the evening.
