Sweet potato puree

Preparation time: 30 minutes

6 servings

Ingredients

• kilo of sweet potato
• ¼ teaspoon of pepper
• ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
• Salt to taste

First we're going to cook the sweet potato.

The first option is to peel it, cut it into cubes and cook it starting from cold water —like potatoes— in a pot; then let it cool in a colander.

The other cooking method is to bake the sweet potato; this will give it a spectacular caramelized flavor.

• To do this, wrap the sweet potato in aluminum foil and bake for 45 to 60 minutes at 180°C. Once ready, remove the peel and cut into small pieces to cool.
• To make the puree, you can use a blender or a food processor. Place the cooked sweet potato pieces in the blender and blend together with the allspice and nutmeg.
• Continue grinding until you get the texture you want.
• Serve or store the puree in an airtight container until ready to use.
