Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
sea salt
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1 lb orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, such as garnet yams, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp grated orange zest
1 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp grade b maple syrup
12 kalamata olives, cut in half
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup almonds or shelled pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and sauté until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cumin, and paprika and sauté for 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, water, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the liquid is reduced to almost a glaze, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, and olives and stir gently to combine. Taste; you may want to add a pinch of salt or squeeze of lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with the parsley and almonds. Serve at room temperature.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to  5 days.
