Ingredients

4 sticks of celery cut into very fine strips 3cm
1 bunch of coriander, chopped
1 large potato, peeled and grated
salt & freshly ground black pepper
sweet chilli sauce
½ tsp chilli powder
olive oil for frying
4 slices of goats cheese 1cm thick

  2. Mix the celery, coriander and grated potato together. Season and add a few drops of chilli sauce and the chilli powder.

  4. Transfer the rosti to a lightly oiled baking tray and place in the oven for 15 minutes to finish off the cooking.
  5. Place a slice of cheese on top of each rosti and put under a hot grill until lightly browned.

  7. Place the rosti on plates, add the poached egg on top and drizzle with the chilli sauce. Serve with a green salad and baby new potatoes.
