Sweet Potato Sriracha Spread
 

OK...first...this is not my recipe. I got it from the Wickedhealthyfood.com site. It came along with a recipe for a crusty, eggplant sandwich that they have posted. I tried the whole recipe and it was all good, but the sweet potato spread was so different and amazing. They have quite a few interesting dishes in their new cookbook, so I had to order it. I expect it any day....fingers tapping, tapping, tapping.

I'm just going to give you the general list of ingredients. It's good on its own, but a blank canvas. Personally, I would do some tweaking to it...maybe add some interesting spices, or maybe a little sweetener.

1 baked sweet potato
3 T Sriracha
2 T olive oil
2 T almond milk
S&P to taste

Blend in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Use on a sandwich, burger, whatever you want.

I am a big sweet potato fan and this looks delicious. I also went to their site and got a recipe for a sweet potato pie. I am considering buying their cookbook as well. Thanks for posting.

Update - bought the cookbook.

My book should be here in a few days. We'll have to try some of their recipes and compare notes here. :-)

Most definitely. We are trying to eat less meat so I am always looking for good recipes that will entice my
reluctant DH to the idea of being vegetarian.

My book arrived last night. I'm so excited to cook something out of it! It's a beautiful cookbook with hard cover and lots of great photos. I'll have to pour over it during my morning coffee and report back soon.

I was in the kitchen cooking yesterday. I tried a couple of recipes out of the Wicked Healthy cookbook. First one was Sloppy BBQ Jackfruit Sliders with Slaw, Sriracha Mayo, and Pickles. I didn't have slider buns, just regular hamburger buns. I also used bottled BBQ sauce, which the recipe gave as an option. It turned out good...really good. However, the huge amount of BBQ sauce wreaked havoc on my WW plan. Oh well.

The second recipe that I tried was Spicy Coconut-Corn Crack. I'm not in love with the title, but OMG, this stew was amazing! The flavors were incredible! I had to make a couple of adjustments. First I didn't realize that I was out of Yukon Gold potatoes, so I used a sweet potato that had a firm, white flesh. Second, I went to grab an onion and found that the whole bag of onions that I had just bought 2 days prior, were rotten. Grrrrrr! Luckily, I had some green onions growing outside the door, so I substituted those. Both substitutions were very appropriate and really tasty. The broth is so unique and delicious! Thre's a little bit left that I'm gonna have for lunch.

I did make the sweet potato gratin. Unfortunately, I ended up cooking it too long and the sweet potatoes were more like mashed potatoes than layers. The sauce used in it was so so good. The recipe made more than needed for the sweet potatoes and we ended up using it on everything. I still really liked the gratin and ended up eating the rest of it. I too am on WW and admit I did not calculate the points for this. I am definitely going to try the recipes you mention. Thank you for writing about your experience with the recipes.

I have the Fork over Knife book and a couple of cook books related to this. I call it a life change rather than diet because I eat as much as I want - just plant strong. Lost 10 lbs (need to loose more) but that's an added bonus because I just wanted to feel better and I do. I have to look up this book because I'm really not finding good recipes in these, just making mine up - which is working fine actually. Thanks for posting this.

I tried the Spicy Coconut Corn Crack and it was quite good. The WW points for the coconut milk were quite high. I used the full fat version, should have gotten the reduced fat. Have you had a chance to try any of the other recipes yet? Would love to hear your reviews.
