Tonight, I decided to put some dried guajillo peppers to good use by using them with broiled tuna a la this recipe. Instead of the rice and greens on the side, though, I wanted to do some sort of mashed sweet potatoes. And so this 3recipe was born:
Peel and dice 3 small-medium sweet potatoes -- about 2 cups once diced. Using water, boil until soft, then drain. Return sweet potatoes to pot and add:
1 Tbsp butter
1-2 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon
1-2 Tbsp ginger syrup
salt to taste
If you didn't get any ginger syrup from your brother for Christmas, I imagine 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of ground or grated ginger and a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar would suffice as a substitute.
Mash everything together until it looks like baby food. I didn't try this, but I suspect a dash of ground hot pepper might go over very well in this dish.
