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 for Perfect Cardamom Sweet Potatoes:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid any potatoes that are soft or have sprouted.
  • Prick the potatoes before baking: This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
  • Use a flavorful oil: I recommend using olive oil, coconut oil, or melted butter. This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes well: In addition to salt and pepper, try adding some ground cardamom, cumin, or paprika.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the outside of the potatoes and make them crispy.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting: This ensures that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Cardamom sweet potatoes are best served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Cardamom sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By following the tips above, you can make perfect cardamom sweet potatoes every time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give cardamom sweet potatoes a try!
