I had 2 white sweet potatoes, so that's what I used. I don't think I really caramelized the onions, since I didn't use any oil, but that's ok. I also added about 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (could've used even more). At first, after I baked the sweet potatoes, I thought it would be really difficult to mash them up. Might've been easier if I'd boiled them. But maybe it's a specific texture you're supposed to have...a little crunchiness here and there, from the crispy outsides. It did take some effort though. It was easier once I added the tomatoes, because of the liquid. The flavors mixed really nicely. It reminded me of my Mix N' Mashed Potatoes. They were very good....we ate them alone. Maybe they'd be better atop some pasta, but I'm trying to avoid as much flour as possible! I'm eating very little pasta these days....although that was one of my favorite foods up until recently....so it's difficult.
Tonight is Mediterranean Veggie Burger night....so look for my blog post tomorrow! And.....I will be posting ways YOU can help Haiti.
And guess what? Yup, I bought dried beans today: garbanzo, black, and kidney. Wish me luck on cooking them....I'd like to get away from buying cans whenever possible. (will be difficult because I love my canned tomatoes....I use them everyday) Here's a good recent post on chickpeas. That should help me get started.
Until tomorrow...
Eat smart,
T.
