Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It took me 32 years to taste my first sweet potato and maybe 1 or 2 years more to learn how to appreciate them. It seems that sweet potato is much more prevalent in Quebec than in France. Anyway, it was in Montreal where I noticed them in evidence at the grocery stores. So, caught by curiosity, I finally bought some. But my first tries were not the best, and I finally had to eat some in a restaurant to get the hang of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But pay attention, there are several varieties of sweet potatoes. Once, I bought white sweet potatoes at the market by mistake. So, after the surprise of realizing their light colour inside, their extremely sweet taste disgusted me a little bit. Those are not for me, I prefer the orange sweet potato, sweet but moderated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the stuffed sweet potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sweet potato directly reminds me of South American cuisine; naturally, I wanted to stuff them with a chilli filling. I imagined this dish to be vegetarian, but adding minced meat is possible. The rest of the ingredients are mainly the ones we find in a chilli: beans, peppers, corn, and some chilli touch to spice it up. I would like to add small jalape\u00f1o pepper, but my kids are not big fans of heavy-spice food, so I avoided it, but if you want it: go on it! Otherwise, my husband and I could add some tabasco. And it’s not bad this way; everyone can control their dose of spiciness according to their tolerance [mine is much lower than the mister ? ]. We remain in Mexico for service with some tortillas (corn chips) and guacamole. Just missing the margaritas, and the table is complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for exotic vegetarian dishes, try this chickpea and cauliflower curry <\/a>full of Indian flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n
