Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2" dice
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, warm or room temp
  • grated zest of navel orange
  • juice of 1/2 navel orange
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • pistachios, or peanuts, or both, lightly crushed (about a small handful)
  • 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, cut into small dice
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. When butter begins to foam, add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 or so minutes, until potatoes just begin to brown. Stir in the maple syrup. Season with salt to taste. Turn off heat.
  • In the saute pan, combine the remaining ingredients with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or room temperature.
