How to Make Sweet Potatoes With Red Curry Paste

  1. Peel and cube 1.5 lbs of sweet potatoes into approximately 1-inch pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the sweet potatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of red curry paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in 1.5 cups of chicken stock, ensuring the sweet potatoes are mostly submerged.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Once cooked, reserve about ½ cup of the cooking liquid; you can use this to add richness to rice or another dish.
  8. Mash the sweet potatoes in the pan using a potato masher or fork.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
