Recipe - sweet potato curry (vegan)
This is based almost entirely on http://www.oneingredientchef.com/sweet-potato-stew/
1 large sweet potato
1 medium onion
1 red chili pepper (I substituted a jalapeno)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
1 can (15 oz) light coconut milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried spices, each cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, coriander, ground cloves
1 pan is sufficient if it is a large, deep skillet.
Chop the onion and saute in olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Seed and chop the pepper. Add pepper, ginger, garlic, and spices. Stir well and continue cooking the onion for several minutes. Peel the sweet potato and chop into 1/2 inch chunks (recipe calls for 1 inch, I prefer smaller.)
Add everything above to the pan. Continue cooking for 30+ minutes; taste occasionally and add spices to taste. (Recipe says 30+ minutes with 50 being ideal and that especially cinnamon, tumeric, and salt can be added at this stage, plus cayenne pepper if you want added spice. I would recommend salting at the table instead of in preparation.)
Serve over rice, salt to taste.
If you're not doing vegan, cheese makes a good addition.
This was pretty successful, but Kaz and I both thought it would be better with meat.
