Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Oven at 400 F.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 2-inch wedges.
  3. Toss them in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and a bit of chipotle powder.
  4. (Don't overdo this - you only want a little heat on the potatoes themselves.)
  5. Liberally oil a baking sheet, and lay the potatoes out in a single layer. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until soft inside and crispy on the edges. Serve warm.
  6. For the Chipotle-Maple Sauce:
  7. 0. drain chipotles, reserving adobo sauce
  8. Remove stem tops of 5-6 chipotles then seed and chop into pleasantly
  9. Sized (small) pieces
  10. Chop all other veg
  11. Melt butter over med heat
  12. Saute onions, garlic, shallots until slightly soft then reduce heat
  13. Slightly and carefully brown the veg taking care not to:
  14. - burn the butter or garlic
  15. When veg starts to go brown, add flour and stir, reduce heat and cook to a dirty blonde roux
  16. Add 5 teaspoons of adobo sauce and stir
  17. Add enough veg stock to start to thin roux, then thin to desired
  18. Consistency
  19. Stir in maple syrup
  20. Cook for 5-7 minutes on low then strain to get rid of all veg bits
  21. Cook on low for another 5 minutes just to make sure flour is cooked
  22. - at this point: taste and adjust seasoning including adobo for heat level
  23. Remembering that actual chipotles will be going in just before serving.
  24. The addition of the chipotles will definitely make the heat level go UP .
  25. Adjust for sweetness, if you wish.
  26. You can hold the sauce on either super low simmer or on top of a warming area.
  27. To finish the sauce:
  28. Bring sauce to heat over medium heat then take off heat to stir in 1/2
  29. Stick of butter taking care not to break the sauce.
  30. You can add more butter if you want but 1/2 stick should make it glossy...
  31. Add the chopped chipotles
  32. Taste and adjust seasoning...a bit of salt at this point is probably
  33. Good....
  34. Sauce should be served warm not blazingly hot.
