SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND CHIPOTLES



Sweet Potatoes with Maple and Chipotles image

This is a Bobby Flay recipe ginned up specifically for Thanksgiving in response to a request from The Times back in 2003. Mr. Flay came through in spades: The sweetness of the potatoes is amplified by maple syrup, then taken in a completely different direction by the addition of fiery chipotle sauce. Sour cream knits the dish together perfectly.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large rainbow carrots, cut into 1-inch half-moons
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
6 cups kale (about 1 pound), woody ends discarded, leaves and stems chopped
Juice of 1 navel orange (about 1/3 cup)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, seeded and chopped, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, optional
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

Add the adobo sauce, if using. Pour the mixture into the pot. Stir and toss all the vegetables with the broth mixture and bring the mixture to a boil. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if desired.
