Though the name literally means sweet potato bread, this Haitian treat is more like a baked pudding. The secret is to use white sweet potatoes (also called boniatas) and not orange ones or yams. Otherwise, the dish will look rather unappetizing, though it will still taste good. Ingredients:
2 lbs white sweet potatoes |
1 large banana, peeled and cut in one-inch pieces |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup seedless raisin |
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
12 ounces evaporated milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
rind of one lemon, grated |
1 1/2 cups coconut milk |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Grate sweet potatoes into mixing bowl and mash the banana into the sweet potatoes.
3. Mix in all ingredients, one at a time, until each ingredient is fully blended into the mix.
4. Spread evenly into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
5. Bake for 90 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
6. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve hot. For an added treat, top with whipped cream or rum syrup.
