This sweet Moroccan salad is prepared by simmering diced sweet potatoes or yams with cinnamon, turmeric, saffron, raisins and honey. It is an easy dish with an exotic taste. Ingredients:
1/3 cup raisins |
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
2 cups water |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric |
3 saffron threads, crumbled, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Place raisins into a bowl, cover with boiling water, and let stand to plump.
2. Place sweet potatoes into a saucepan, cover with 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Add honey, butter, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, and saffron to potatoes; reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are tender but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain raisins and stir into sweet potato mixture.
3. Continue to simmer until mixture has thickened, about 10 more minutes. Let cool before serving.
