Sweet Potato & Veggie Indian Surprise

[Guest guest]

Hey spice freaks!

 

Last night, I started with a sweet potato and didn't know what I was

going to do with it, except steam it. So, I came up with the

following (one large serving)...

 

Sweet Potato & Veggie Indian Surprise...

 

1. Peel the skin off of a small sized sweet potato and cut into 1 "

cubes.

 

2. Make 1/3 to 1/2 cup of basmati rice. I made 1/2 cup and used

about 1/2 of it. I used basmati rice with vegetables from Trader

Joe's

 

3. Steam the sweet potato cubes and time it so they're ready when

the rice is ready.

 

4. Cut small (i.e. 1.5 " ), thin slices of red pepper, carrots, and

onions.

 

5. Dice garlic and fresh ginger. Add sea salt and black pepper.

 

6. When sweet potatoes and rice have about 10+ minutes* left, simmer

veggies, garlic, and ginger on low (to med. low) in 1/2 cup of

Indian Simmer sauce (I got mine from Trader Joe's). Add 4 ounces of

water. Add 1/4 tsp of red (or green) Curry Paste.

 

7. After you simmer all contents of the pot for 10+ minutes, add the

sweet potatoes, rice, turn very low and keep on heat (stirring) for

about 2-3 minutes so everything is mixed up nicely.

 

8. Throw in a bowl and garnish with scallions. If you like cayenne,

sprinkle a little on top.

 

*I simmered for about 10 minutes and the veggies were still nice and

crisp. If you want them cooked more, then simmer for longer on very

low heat.

 

Enjoy...

That sounds yummy. 1 question: what is 'Indian Simmer sauce' Is it something

I can concoct at home or need to find in a ___ (grocery? health food?) store

somewhere? TIA, Beth

It's called " Masala Simmer Sauce " at Trader Joe's, but any type of

spiced sauce will work. Here's a few curry sauce recipes I just

found by Googling:

Oh, ok. Thanks. I wouldn't have put 'Indian Simmer sauce' = curry/masala

sauce. TY.

Speaking of the simmer sauces from Trader Joe's, my roommate and I

used the Thai Green Curry sauce tonight and it was VERY yummy! (Cooked

up with some garlic, onion, eggplant, red sweet pepper and basil

infused olive oil!) It's spicy enough by itself, so, since I was

eating with a lightweight, I didn't add anything extra...But I bet it

would be amazing with an extra chili or three...
