6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cardamom pods, seeds removed and crushed, pods reserved
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1/3 cup packed coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and stems

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small skillet over medium-high, toast coriander seeds until dark brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Grind in a spice grinder, or crush with a mortar and pestle.

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.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sweet potatoes
1 whole jalapeno pepper
¼ cup softened butter
¼ cup orange juice

2 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup walnut pieces

  • Garnish and Serving: Before serving, garnish the sweet potatoes with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of lemon zest. This adds a pop of color and flavor.
