This dip is insane. Creamy and spicy and full of goodness. Slather it over everything - poached eggs, crackers ... the list is endless.
Ingredients:
250g sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2.5cm pieces
1 tbsp of grated fresh ginger
4 tsp coconut cream (can of coconut milk)
2 tbsp tahini
2 tsp gluten-free tamari, soy sauce or Liquid Aminos
2 tbsp of sesame seeds
salt and pepper
Method:
Boil the sweet potato for 20 minutes, or until soft, in around 100ml water with a pinch of salt. Drain in a colander and reserve the liquid.
In a food processor blend the sweet potato, ginger, coconut cream, tahini and tamari, soy sauce or Liquid Aminos.
Blend until smooth, and add a little of the sweet potato cooking water to thin it out if you want.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan for 1 minute, stirring constantly so they don't burn.
Put the sweet potato mixture in a bowl, and top with the toasted sesame seeds and some ground pepper. Leave to cool, then refrigerate.
Serve chilled, with vegetable crudités (pictured on here).
