Description
Sweet potatoes are a must-have on my menus. This delicious root vegetable is rich in flavor and nutrients as well as cultural significance. Sweet potatoes were often sold by street vendors in Harlem, and these piping-hot nuggets on a wintry New York day were a reminder of home for the many Southerners who migrated north after the Civil War. For this miso-inspired take on sweet potatoes, I make a version of furikake, a popular Japanese seasoning that's often sprinkled over rice or fish. In place of seaweed I like to use different seasonal leafy greens, like collard greens, to add a new dimension to it. Collard furikake makes a beautiful garnish for this golden sweet potato soup enriched with coconut milk.
