Sweet Potato Spread

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

  • ½ red chili pepper

  • ¾ cup chickpeas, drained

  • 1 tsp. garam masala

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into ¾ inch cubes. Boil in water for about 10 minutes until done. Drain, and place in a tall cup, allowing to cool slightly.

Halve the pepper and remove the seed with a sharp knife, then chop into pieces and add in with the cooked potatoes. Next, add in the chickpeas and garam masala. 

Puree everything with a hand blender (or food processor) until a smooth spread has formed. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve as a spread or dip.
