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.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds sweet potatoes (about 10 medium or 5 large), scrubbed

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE PURéE



Sweet Potato and Apple Purée image

This autumnal side dish is great for Thanksgiving, pairing tart apples and sweet potatoes, the flavors melding in the soft purée. It is also a cinch to prepare. Bake the apples and sweet potatoes until soft. Peel both and core the apples, chop and then purée until smooth and lustrous. Lime juice adds zing, yogurt adds creaminess and honey adds a note of sweetness. Melted butter? That is to enrich the texture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes without any blemishes or sprouts. Avoid any that are soft or have dark spots.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they puree smoothly and have a creamy texture.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potatoes: This will give you the smoothest puree possible. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the sweet potatoes by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Season the sweet potato puree to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other spices or herbs that you like. You can also add a little bit of maple syrup or honey to taste.
  • Serve the sweet potato puree immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later: Sweet potato puree can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • For the spiced apple puree:
    • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady.
    • Be sure to peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any bitterness from the puree.
    • Season the apple puree with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a little bit of brown sugar or honey to taste.

Conclusion:

These sweet potato and apple purees are a delicious and healthy way to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve them on their own, or use them as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or pancakes. You can also use them as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts.
