Not So Sweet Potato
On Friday we had lunch at Café Orca in Melkbosstrand, an excellent restaurant situated almost on the beach. The restaurant specializes in seafood and the food is of the highest quality. With their main meal they serve the most delicious veggies. One of the veggies served is sweet potato, a dish which is traditionally overpowered by sugar. Café Orca’s sweet potato is perfect for all of us who are not fond of sweet vegetables. At home, I tried to copy their recipe and I think this is basically how they prepare their sweet potato.
Ingredients
500 g sweet potato chunks
5 ml brown sugar
5 ml caramel essence
2 ml cinnamon
Juice of 1/2 small lemon
10 ml butter
Cook sweet potatoes in the microwave oven for 8 – 10 minutes. Melt the butter in a pan, add the sugar and essence and fry the sweet potato until dry. Add the lemon juice and cinnamon. Delicious.
