sweet potato recipes?

[ratcreature]

I've never had sweet potatoes (they're somewhat exotic here), but today my supermarket had some on offer so I got a couple.

Do you have any favorite recipes highlighting their taste that would be good to try them?

I love them in a recipe I found at Real Simple….

Peel them and cut them into thumb sized chunks. Microwave them with some water in a covered dish for five or six minutes until they are a bit tender.

Then add them to a saute'd red onion (saute the onion in butter or vegetable oil).

Then once they and the onion are all heated through, add small torn up pieces of fresh kale and saute it all together until you have a pan full of kale, sweet potato chunks and onions, all hot.

Spoon some of this on to a plate and top with basil pesto.

This is the most amazing thing ever.

If you need the pesto recipe I can give you that too. I seem to never get tired of this.

Sounds tasty, though kale is not in season here fresh yet, so I'll have to try that at a later time. Also I don't have a microwave, so I'd have to work around that and pre-cook them the old-fashioned way.

I actually like to boil or roast them, myself, but when I put the recipe up at the omnomnom community, most people seemed to like the microwave idea.

I think you could probably use any greens, not only kale.
