Sweet Potato Maafe



This recipe was delivered to my door last fall in a co-op newsletter. I made it once last year and received a so-so reaction. It took me a year to try it again, and this year it was LOVED. Not sure what made the difference, but it is very well-liked by me, my husband, and our one-year old. The three-year old was still a bit luke-warm. This is a easy one-pot meal that can take under an hour. I enjoy serving it with basmati rice - a treat in our usual brown rice home.

My alterations - I used potatoes rather than turnips, because I just received a mother-load of potatoes and no turnips from our CSA Thanksgiving box. I also omitted the cayenne pepper. I get nervous the babe will get the hot-spot and be mortified. I just put red pepper flakes on the table for individuals to add heat. I also did not use tomato paste, because what I had on-hand had turned moldy!

Just click here, and enjoy!
