CARDAMOM MASHED SWEET POTATOES



Cardamom Mashed Sweet Potatoes image

What you see is what you get but the cardamom is a nice surprise. The recipe is from the World Food Cafe in London (UK). They offer a sweet pepper relish with it but I'd prefer thinly sliced sweet peppers in a sweet sour vinaigrette. For vegetarians this is fine as a main dish but I can see this as a nice side dish for roast lamb or even chicken. I have altered the recipe slightly to my taste and if you want to go vegan use vegetable oil instead of butter. I find adding the honey too sweet but taste and decide. Also, I prefer white pepper in combination with cardamom. It's your call. Do not use canned peas. That would be horrible. Apparently the recipe originated in Tanzania on a visit to a game reserve. The cook was creatively catering to a vegetarian.

Tips:

  • Select firm and evenly-shaped sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are free of bruises and blemishes. Firm potatoes will hold their shape better during cooking.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Add the cardamom and spices early: This will allow the flavors to meld and infuse the sweet potatoes.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender: A fork should easily pierce through the center of the potatoes.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes hot or warm: They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish with roasted chicken, fish, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Cardamom-spiced sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the grill. The cardamom and spices add a warm and fragrant flavor to the sweet potatoes, making them a perfect addition to any table.
