Categories : Side Dishes Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

8 medium yams (about 5 pounds total) -- rinsed well

1 tablespoon minced garlic

3 apples (preferably Granny Smith)

1 cup pitted prunes -- coarsely chopped

1/2 cup dry sherry

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (3/4 stick) melted

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

 

Place the yams in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the yams are fork-tender, 25 to 30

minutes. Drain, rinse under cold running water, and let cool.

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 11 1/2- by 9- by 2-inch-deep casserole

dish and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic over the bottom.

 

Peel the yams and slice them 1/2 inch thick.

 

Core and thinly slice the apples.

 

Layer one-third of the yams in the prepared dish. Cover the yams with half the

apple slices. Scatter half the prunes over the apples. Repeat the layers,

starting with the garlic, and ending with the yams.

 

In a small saucepan, combine the sherry, brown sugar, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt

and pepper, and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Heat, stirring until the

mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the lemon juice and pour the

syrup evenly over the yams.

 

In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs thoroughly with the remaining 2 teaspoons

melted butter and sprinkle over the yams. Bake for 1 hour, or until bubbling.

Serve hot.
