MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH PINEAPPLE AND SRIRACHA

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Try this puree alongside Asian-inspired mains, such as tofu stir-fry or roast duck. For children, omit the spicy Sriracha sauce.

MAKES ABOUT 2 SERVINGS (1 CUP)

 

INGREDIENTS

  • Small sweet potatoes or yams
  • 1/4 cup cubed ripe fresh pineapple
  • 1/4 cup plain unsweetened cashew milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

 

PREPARATION

  1. Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, and microwave until very tender, about 12 minutes.
  2. When cool enough to handle, but still warm, scoop out the flesh (you should yield about 3/4 cup).
  3. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients, and puree until very smooth, about 40 seconds.
