Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large Spanish onions
3 large sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, slivered
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the onions. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes or matchsticks. Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large heavy frying pan or 4-quart pot. Sauté the onions slowly over medium heat until they are turning amber, then darker brown - about 15 minutes. Once the onions are caramelized, add the sweet potato chunks and garlic. Continue cooking over medium heat, turning up the heat a little if the potato does not brown at all. Cook until the potatoes are also slightly browned and golden. Add the water, turn the heat to low, and cover for about 10 minutes, or until the potato has softened. Remove the lid, turn the heat back up, and add the ginger, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste, Sauté just a little longer, then remove from the heat and serve.
