Sweet Potatoes with GArlic, Onions and Tomatoes

 

2 onions, chopped

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

3 tomatoes, peeled and chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled

2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

salt and black pepper

I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to spice them up

 

In a large pan, fry the onions in the oil until soft. Add the garlic, and when

the aroma rises, add the tomatoes and ginger. Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch

cubes,and put them in the pan with the cilantro.

 

Add about 1 1/2 cups water, or enough to half-cover the potatoes, and season

with salt and pepper.

 

Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid

has almost evaporated, turning the potatoes over once.

 

Serve hot or cold.
