Ingredients:

Serving

6 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 lb)
1 tsp canola oil
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Pierce potatoes with a fork, and bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool potatoes slightly.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic; cook 3 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup water and next 4 ingredients (through salt), stirring until smooth; bring to a simmer. Cook 2 minutes or until thick.
Split potatoes lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Spoon about 1/4 cup sauce into each potato. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon cilantro.
