SWEET POTATO BUTTER WINE SAUCE *BONUS FOR FUN

Tis the season of giving and here is a recipe I was inspired to make and desired to share with you all. My friends loved it! This is a lovely sauce (not gravy, lol)

INGREDIENTS:

4 sweet potatoes or yams or both peeled and cut into small cubes

1.5 cups of white wine such as Pinot Grigio

2 cups of water

1/2 onion diced

1-2tsp of saindhav (himalayan pink salt/rock salt) or sea salt is fine for this dish.

1 tsp of black pepper ground

1 stick of salted butter (*you can adjust this based on your need/preference)

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp of cumin powder

PREPARATION:

In a saucepan, add the butter (having it melt first in the pan) and spices until the oil is infused after 1-2 minutes on medium heat.

Add the cut-up yams/sweet potatoes, and onions, sauteing them for 1-2 minutes covering thoroughly.

Next, add the wine and water, bringing the mixture to a simmer on medium to high heat, then once simmering, lower the heat to a medium-low.

Cook this for about 45 minutes covered and until you notice the sweet potatoes/yams are very soft and even mushy.

You can add more salt and cinnamon to increase taste.

Let it sit covered.

Two options: this can be either used as is as a sauce for any type of pasta per your dietary regimen, OR, you can put the mixture into a food processor or blender, and then add it back to your pot to ladle onto your pasta. Either consistency will work just fine since there are many types of sauces.

Buon Appetite! Let me know what you think if you try it.
