Spiced Sweet Potato Puree

This wonderful purée adds a ton of flavor to any dish. The consistency is thinner and smoother than a traditional mashed sweet potato, but thicker and creamier than a sauce. One of the awesome things about sweet potatoes is that they are less starchy than regular potatoes so they don’t get gummy in the food processor or blender; which means once your sweet potato is cooked it only takes a couple of minutes to transform it into this spicy golden puree. I love to serve it spread out on the plate under roasted or sautéed veggies, tofu or fish dishes. It turns ingredients which might otherwise be a little bland into an exciting meal without adding a single drop of oil. In fact, the sweet potato and spices are both a super nutrient-dense additions to your menu. Plus they and add a beautiful pop of color. Try it with my Maple Glazed Acorn Squash and/or some sautéed greens. Enjoy! xJacq Ingredients: 4 Servings 1 large sweet potato (approx. 1lb 3oz) 1/2 cup Almond or Cashew Milk 1/4 …

The green beans add substance and the pistachios and shallot add a ton of flavor and crunch. It’s so good that I’ve decided to add it to my Thanksgiving menu this year. The great thing about making this for a holiday or dinner party is you can make the persimmon pickles and cook the green beans a couple of days ahead of time, making it really easy to put together on the big day. Ingredients: Serves 4 Green Beans: 1/2 lb Green Beans, trimmed 1 tsp salt Shallot: 3-4 Tbsp Olive Oil 1 Shallot, thinly sliced, separated into rings Salad: 1 head Butter or Green Leaf Lettuce 1/4 cup Pistachios 1/4 cup Dried Cherries 8 slices Ginger-Chili Pickled Persimmon Sea Salt & Black Pepper Dressing: 3 Tbsp Vinegar from the Pickles 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Olive Oil Juice of 1/2 …
