Sweet Potato with Date/Nut Sauce

Ingredients

Sweet potato, 1 medium (700 g)
(25 ounces)

Dates, 7 large (90 g)
Cashews, 1/2 cup
Water, 1/2 cup
Ginger, 2 teaspoons (5 g)
Turmeric, fresh, 1 teaspoon (2 g)
Black pepper, freshly ground
Cayenne powder, 1/4 teaspoon

Maple syrup to taste if desired. 
Directions

Steam the sweet potato or cook it any other way you choose. 

Add the next ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. 

Poor the blended sauce over the sweet potato and add maple syrup to taste. 
I sliced the potato into 1/2" rounds and baked it at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Lay everything in a single layer. 
Variations: 
  • Bake sliced apples with the sweet potato. 
  • Use 1/4 cup of raisins instead of dates.
