YAMS WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS image

Categories     Potato

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large yams (3 1⁄2-4 lbs.), peeled and
cut into thick rounds
Kosher salt, to taste
6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
16 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
8 large shallots, thinly sliced
8 scallions, cut crosswise into 1" pieces
4 jalapeños, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 5" piece ginger, peeled and cut into
paper-thin matchsticks
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 lightly packed cups basil leaves, coarsely chopped
6 tbsp. fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add yams and cook until tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain yams in a colander and transfer to a large shallow serving dish. Return pot to the stovetop. 2. Heat oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, scallions, jalapeños, ginger, and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until ginger has softened, 15-20 minutes. 3. Stir the basil into the ginger mixture; cook, uncovered, until basil has softened and released its fragrance (but not lost its bright color), about 30 seconds. Spoon the ginger-basil mixture over the yams. Season with salt and pepper. Right before serving, drizzle the lime juice over the top.
