GRILLED SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME AND CILANTRO
Steps:
- Parcook the potatoes: Place in a pot of water and boil until fork-tender; let cool. Slice each potato lengthwise into eighths.
- Preheat a grill to medium or place a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Mix 1 tablespoon salt, the lime zest and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Brush the potato wedges with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides (including the skin) and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; immediately season with the salt mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.

The mildly spicy, citrusy taste and floral aroma of cardamom brighten the rich flavor of the creamy sweet potatoes in this dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small skillet over medium-high, toast coriander seeds until dark brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Grind in a spice grinder, or crush with a mortar and pestle.
- In a small saucepan, bring butter, coriander, cardamom seeds and pods, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil. Toss with potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet to evenly coat. Transfer half of potatoes to a second rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer on both sheets.
- Roast, flipping potatoes and rotating sheets once halfway through, until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife and golden brown in places, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro.

CARDAMOM MASHED SWEET POTATOES
What you see is what you get but the cardamom is a nice surprise. The recipe is from the World Food Cafe in London (UK). They offer a sweet pepper relish with it but I'd prefer thinly sliced sweet peppers in a sweet sour vinaigrette. For vegetarians this is fine as a main dish but I can see this as a nice side dish for roast lamb or even chicken. I have altered the recipe slightly to my taste and if you want to go vegan use vegetable oil instead of butter. I find adding the honey too sweet but taste and decide. Also, I prefer white pepper in combination with cardamom. It's your call. Do not use canned peas. That would be horrible. Apparently the recipe originated in Tanzania on a visit to a game reserve. The cook was creatively catering to a vegetarian.
