Another experiment gone well. Took sweet potato and baby broccoli and sautéed them with coconut peanut sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds and peanuts. Served on top of quinoa and brown rice with garlic. Amazing

The trouble with online grocery shopping is that you never how big your veg is going to be. I ordered two sweet potatoes to be on the safe side and have ended up with two giant sweet potatoes. Here's what I did with one of them. It's simple because it was made after work and I wanted something quick that I didn't have to think about too much.

Serves 2 - 3

Ingredients
Some vegetable or rapeseed oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 chicken breasts, chopped into chunks
250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into small-ish chunks
1 heaped tbsp medium curry powder
500ml chicken stock
100g spinach


Method
1. Heat a small amount of the oil in a pan. Add the onion and cook over a low heat for about five minutes.
2. Turn the heat up and add the chunks of chicken and cook until brown on the outside.
3. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for a few more minutes, until the mushrooms are starting to soften.
4. Add the sweet potato, give it a good stir and cook for another minute or so.
5. Add the curry powder, stir, cook for another minute or two.
6. Add the chicken stock, bring to the boil then turn down to a simmer and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato is nice and soft and the liquid has reduced a fair bit.
7. Add the spinach towards the end of cooking and let it wilt for a couple of minutes.

I served mine with rice. Simple but does the job.

I've eaten lentils my whole life, but this is the first time I've attempted lentil soup. (Dal is different, after all, and kichiri, my true food love, is different still.) It was cold! I was cold! Lentil soup is almost freakishly hearty! After eating a bowl of it, I don't think I'm able to eat anything else for a long time.

Um. Technically, this counts. It contains sweet potato, though this is by no means the dominant thing in this recipe.
It's my default Big Batch of Stoo recipe, which this week contained sweet potatoes. Info and pics under the cut:

Conveniently, when I saw the challenge, I realised that one of the few vegetables I have in the fridge at this point of the week is orange sweet potato. Sadly, because we are out of white potatoes, I couldn't make my usual sweet potato based roast veggies, so I improvised.

ingredients: sweet potato, carrots, cooking oil, rosemary, almonds. Quantities are entirely dependent on what is in the fridge and how many people are eating it.
also requires: working oven, sharp knife, strength to cut sweet potato, shallow baking tray

Put oven on to heat -- I think I set it to 180C, but if it had been warmer then the dish would have cooked faster. If, as I did, you need to source rosemary from the garden, get that sorted. Chop/dice sweet potato and carrot. Put in baking tray. Strip rosemary leaves off stems. I think we used about 25cm worth, for two small sweet potatoes and 3 medium carrots. Add the rosemary and almonds to the pan, drizzle oil over so that there is a suitable amount for your taste. Shake the pan as best you can to get oil coated over as many of the pieces of veggie as possible. Stick in oven, check after 20 minutes and every 5 minutes thereafter until pieces of sweet potato are soft through (carrots will still be crunchy, which is important in our household, because otherwise people Complain).

Your challenge this week is to make something with sweet potatoes/yams in it. Any recipe you like :)
