Ingredients:
3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick |
1/3 cup hot water |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1 teaspoon cumin seeds |
1 teaspoon coriander seeds |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a baking dish. Arrange the sweet potato slices in concentric circles in the dish.
2. In a bowl, combine the hot water with 1 tablespoon of the honey and the butter; swirl to melt the butter. Pour the liquid over the sweet potatoes. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast the cumin and coriander seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, about 40 seconds; let cool. Transfer the seeds to a spice grinder and grind to a powder. Transfer the powder to a small bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, oil, garlic, ginger and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey; season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and serve.
