Sweet Potato And Chick Pea Saute Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Margarine, [or possibly canola oil]
- 1 c. Minced onions
- 6 ounce Sweet potato, pared, cut in 1/2" cubes
- 1/2 c. Chicken broth, canned, ready to serve
- 1 tsp Fresh lemon juice

- 1/8 tsp Thyme, leaves
- 1/4 tsp Lemon peel, grated
- 1 dsh Pepper
Directions
- 1. In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat margarine [or possibly heat canola oil - my preference], add in onions and saute/fry over high heat, till translucent/soft, about 1 minute.
- 2. Add in sweet potato and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 min.
- 3. Add in chicken broth and lemon juice and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium; cover and let simmer for 5 min.
- 4. Add in chick-peas, thyme, lemon peel, and pepper and stir to combine; cover and let simmer till mix is heated through and liquid is absorbed, about 5 min.
- Makes 2 large servings.
- NOTES :
- 1. I found which 6 ounces of pared sweet potato was about half of one large.
- 2. I have no canned ready-to-serve chicken broth, so I boiled 1/2 c. of water, then stirred in some Knorr Chicken Bouillon concentrate.
- I didn't measure but gauged the necessary amount by the similarity to the strength of the scent of real chicken broth. I let this broth cold a bit before it was time to add in it to the skillet.
- 3. If this is not the only side dish, the recipe should serve at least 3.
