This is great for breakfast on whole grain bread, as a snack on crackers, or served with bread at dinner.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 medium-sized yam or sweet potato
- 3 tbsp sesame tahini
- 2 tsp miso
- reserved yam cooking water
Instructions
1. Peel the yam and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place in a small pot with enough water to cover, bring to a boil, and simmer until yam is tender and cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, sautee onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil until soft. Set aside.
3. Place all ingredients, except the yam cooking water in a food processor, or in a bowl for use with a hand blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding the reserved cooking water to achieve the desired consistency. Save the remaining cooking water for soup broth.
Makes approx. 1 ½cups.
