Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 1/4 cups cubed peeled sweet potato -- (1-inch cubes)

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup water

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons plum vinegar

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger

1 1/2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

1 teaspoon tamarind paste

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 fresh lemongrass stalk -- halved lengthwise

 

The pods of the tamarind tree yield a sweet-sour pulp that flavors many Dutch,

Indonesian, and East Indian dishes. You can find tamarind paste in specialty

food stores or online at www.spicesgalore1.com and www.quickspice.com. A little

goes a long way, so measure carefully.

 

1. Place all ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 5

hours.

 

2. Discard lemongrass. Place half of the potato mixture in blender, and process

until smooth. Pour the pureed potato mixture into a large bowl. Repeat procedure

with the remaining potato mixture.

 

Yield: 5 servings (serving size: about 1 cup).
