Curried Sweet Potato Mash with Peas

So I've finally done it. I changed my dad's Curried Potatoes and Peas recipe by adding mashed sweet potatoes in place of Red Potatoes and/or Purple Potatoes.

The contrast with the sweet and spicy is fantastic and puts your taste buds into overload.

Here is the recipe:

5 small sweet potatoes, peel and cut into cubes
1 package of frozen peas
4 tablespoons of curry powder
2 tablespoons of Earth Balance soy free non-dairy spread
1/4 cup of Unsweetened Mimic Creme
Salt & Pepper to taste

Boil the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes so they become nice and soft, but do not over cook!
In a frying pan or wok, heat earth balance spread until it starts to bubble
Add curry powder and saute for 1 minute
add mimic Creme and stir to combine
add sweet potatoes and mix and cook....watch the sweet potatoes practically mash themselves as you stir.
Cook until sauce is hot and starts to thicken slightly and make sure to coat the potatoes fully with the sauce.
Add peas and cook until everything is heated.
Add salt and pepper and serve with your protein of choice. In my case it was the Quorn Chik'n tenders sauteed in extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme and basil.

MMmmmmmmmmmmm
