Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes:

5-6 medium sweet potatoes

olive oil

chipotle powder

salt & pepper

For the Chipotle-Maple Sauce:

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/4 yellow onion, small dice

1 large shallot, finely chopped

1/2 stick of butter

1 tbsp + 1 tsp flour

enough veg stock to thin roux (see below)

5-6 seeded and chopped canned-in-adobo-sauce chipotles

5-7 teaspoons of adobo sauce (from item above)

1/4-1/3 cup of maple syrup

salt

1/2 stick of butter for mounting sauce

Directions

Oven at 400 F.

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 2-inch wedges.

Toss them in olive oil, salt, black pepper, and a bit of chipotle powder.

(Don't overdo this - you only want a little heat on the potatoes themselves.)

Liberally oil a baking sheet, and lay the potatoes out in a single layer. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until soft inside and crispy on the edges. Serve warm.

For the Chipotle-Maple Sauce:

0. drain chipotles, reserving adobo sauce

remove stem tops of 5-6 chipotles then seed and chop into pleasantly

sized (small) pieces

chop all other veg

melt butter over med heat

saute onions, garlic, shallots until slightly soft then reduce heat

slightly and carefully brown the veg taking care not to:

- burn the butter or garlic

when veg starts to go brown, add flour and stir, reduce heat and cook to a dirty blonde roux

add 5 teaspoons of adobo sauce and stir

add enough veg stock to start to thin roux, then thin to desired

consistency

stir in maple syrup

cook for 5-7 minutes on low then strain to get rid of all veg bits

cook on low for another 5 minutes just to make sure flour is cooked

- at this point: taste and adjust seasoning including adobo for heat level

remembering that actual chipotles will be going in just before serving.

The addition of the chipotles will definitely make the heat level go UP .

Adjust for sweetness, if you wish.

You can hold the sauce on either super low simmer or on top of a warming area.

To finish the sauce:

bring sauce to heat over medium heat then take off heat to stir in 1/2

stick of butter taking care not to break the sauce.

You can add more butter if you want but 1/2 stick should make it glossy...

add the chopped chipotles

taste and adjust seasoning...a bit of salt at this point is probably

good....

Sauce should be served warm not blazingly hot.

This sounds like heartburn heaven, but I have a bottle of cherry flavoured malox, so I am going to try this for sure. The Greeks say that sweet potatoes are a gift from the gods - well, they say that about almost everything, but in this cas I am inclined to believe them.
