[Sca-cooks] Sweet potatoes

[ranvaig at columbus.rr.com]

I think I am the only person that likes sweet potatoes as a 
vegetable. No sugar at all, please.

My favorite recipe is Sweet Potato and Kale.

Slice an small yellow onion and caramelize it in a cast iron pan with 
a tiny bit of oil.  While the onion cooks down, peel and slice a big 
sweet potato and put the slices on top of the onion.  Cover and turn 
down the heat, and maybe add a spoon or two of water, just enough so 
it doesn't burn.

Then go out to the garden and shake the snow off of a quart or so of 
kale, rinse and chop it and throw it on top of the sweet potato, push 
in as much as you can fit.  Cover and braise til the kale is soft. 
This makes enough for ME for supper.  Might serve 4-6 as a side dish.

You can make it with kale from the store, but it will not be as good.
