This was printed in my local newspaper and I gave it a try. A very different way to serve sweet potatoes and so delicious. The great joy in this recipe is it gives you a variation for day one and then on day 2 you can dress it up a little differently and enjoy once again. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup lime juice (fresh is best.) |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated |
1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts |
1/4 cup sliced scallion |
3 cups shredded cooked chicken |
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce |
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (or to taste.) |
mixed greens |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the oilive oil, lime juice, sugar, ginger and salt until combined.
2. Add the grated sweet potatoes, nuts and scallions; reserve approximately 2 cups of the mixture for day 2 variation and serve the remainder in the lettuce leaf cups.
3. Day 2: In a medium size bowl, toss together the reserved sweet potato slaw with the chicken, hoisin sauce and seasame oil; serve over a bed of mixed greens.
4. The recipe serves 8, 4 on day 1 and 4 on day 2.
