Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sea salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for seasoning
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

In a medium saucepan add chicken stock, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons sea salt, 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and almond extract. Stir mixture and bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, peel sweet potatoes and cut into medium-sized cubes. Add to the chicken stock and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until soft.

Once potatoes are soft, place potatoes in a food processor. Reserve the liquid and set aside. Add heavy cream and lemon juice and blend until smooth. If too dry, add reserved potato liquid. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

    Amazing! I thought this puree was simply mouth-watering! We served it alongside an herbed pork tenderloin and it was perfect. I just peppered it to taste, but the lemon was fine. Many people have commented that it was too lemony, but I just tasted as we went and I thought it was great.

    This recipe was amazing and I will for sure make it again. Instead of chicken stock I used vegetable stock. I also added butter. I left out the lemon juice and didnt use as much pepper. Amazing recipe!

    felt that a tablespoon of pepper just overwhelmed the puree and made it inedible, perhaps it should have been a teaspoon???
