Drawing her inspiration from the Caribbean, food editor Lillian Chou stirred lightly sweetened coconut milk into roasted sweet potatoes. Ingredients:
6 pounds medium sweet potatoes |
1 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk |
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
2. Prick sweet potatoes in several places with a fork, then bake on a foil-lined baking sheet, rotating potatoes halfway through baking, until very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, halve sweet potatoes and scoop flesh into a bowl.
3. Meanwhile, bring coconut milk, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir into warm sweet potatoes, then pulse in batches in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt.
5. Cooks note: Sweet-potato purée can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat in a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, covered, stirring occasionally (20 to 30 minutes).
