Curried sweet potatoes and spinach make a dish that is hearty enough to be a meal.
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 large sweet potatoes
-
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
-
½ cup water
-
½ cup red onion
-
1 ½ pounds spinach
-
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut sweet potatoes into cubes; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Add curry powder. Cook 1 minute. Add water and chopped red onion. Cook, stirring, until water evaporates and potatoes are tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
-
In the same skillet, cook spinach in 2 batches, adding second batch when first wilts, 2 minutes. Drain; add to potatoes.
-
Stir in balsamic vinegar; season with coarse salt and ground pepper.
Cook's Notes
Sweet potatoes are available sporadically year-round, but they're at their sweetest in fall and winter. They are sometimes mislabeled as yams, which are actually not widely available in North America.
