Sweet Potato Spinach Boats

Experiments make me happy. Successful ones more so.

'Nuff said.

Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato

• Try to get one that's kind of long

• Spinach leaves - 3-4 'bundles', washed and cut

• Garlic - 2 cloves, crushed

• Oil, for cooking - about 1 tablespoon

• Dried red chilis - 2 - optional

• Sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps

• Divide the potato in two length-wise (sagittal or coronal, for my medical peeps!)

• Place in a plate, sprinkle with water and cover with a glass bowl

• Microwave on half power for about 5-7 minutes - you want to make the potato soft.

• Remove, allow to cool and scrape out the potato, leaving the 'outside' intact - it's going to make your boat.

• Heat the oil.

• When it's hot (i.e. after about a minute or so), add garlic and sauté for about 30-40 seconds. If you're using dried red chili, add it now.

• Add spinach

• Wilt down the spinach

• Turn off gas and season with salt and pepper.

• Mix spinach with scraped out potato

• Return mixture to sweet potato 'boat'

• Sprinkle sesame seeds to garnish.
