Serve this puree with poultry, pork or game. Make it ahead of time to rewarm in the oven or prepare it in the slow cooker while you make other dishes for the meal. It's ideal for special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, (about 2-1/2 lb/1.25 kg)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced gingerroot, (or 1/2 tsp/2 mL ground ginger)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes; set aside.

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, ginger, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add sweet potatoes and chicken stock, stirring to combine; bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until potatoes are tender, 25 minutes.

Transfer to food processor; puree until smooth. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Transfer to airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave at high for 8 minutes or bake in 350°F/180°C oven for 30 minutes.) Serve sprinkled with parsley.
