- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped yellow onions
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and small diced

In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes.

I liked this dish, though I would reduce the water to maybe 1/4 C. or omit it completely, as the dish was watery (though I did use light coconut milk. Needs more salt, and with the collard greens I used instead of dasheen or spinach, I'd say the 8 C. of leaves much be packed. Also, I'd say this recipe yields 6 servings, not the posted 4.
