PrintOrange Mashed Yams
From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook
These potatoes are sweetened with brown rice syrup, which is subtle in its level of sweetness and colored with orange juice and zest. If you like, add a drizzle of maple syrup.
Makes 4 cups
- 3 1/2 pounds yams or sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into large chunks
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
- juice and zest of 1 large orange (1/4 cup juice)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons butter
- sea salt, to taste
Steam the yams for 20 minutes, or boil in water for 25 minutes, until soft. Place the brown rice syrup, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice and butter in a saucepan. Place on high heat until the butter is melted. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes or until syrupy. Remove the pan from the heat. Mash the reserved yams. You should have about 4 cups. Combine the orange juice mixture with the yams. Add the salt. Mix well.
