Sweet Potato Mash With Pecans

Sweet Potato Mash With Pecans

Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 green onions, chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup toasted, chopped pecans
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Bring water to a boil and cook potatoes until soft enough to mash in a large
pot.
Strain the potatoes and put them back in the pot. Add the butter and mash until
butter is melted completely and potatoes are smooth and silky. Season with
freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Add onions with the cinnamon and mix completely to ensure the cinnamon is
dispersed consistently.
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans. When finished, add to the
potatoes.
Serve warm.
Creamy Tomato Baked Scallops
Serves 4
Scallops can be prepared in a variety of ways, though they are typically pan-
fried. When the weather permits, they can also easily be grilled. However you
decide to cook them, they are easy to prepare and require very minimal time.
Scallops, as nutritious as they are, can be bland tasting, so adding flavors to them
is a good idea. This recipe accomplishes this with the help of a delectable and rich
tomato sauce, added coconut milk and fresh oregano.
