Those dishes look gorgeous and delicious! We’ve just harvested a huge crop of sweet potatoes—can’t wait to try them in your recipe with cashews. Had the first ones for dinner last night roasted with just flavored olive oil and garlic and they were so good. I think I’ll ferment some again too, but with a different spice combo than the West African I tried last year, that one was too heavy on the whole coriander for me.

If you have a suggestion for what might work well in a sweet potato ferment, please do share!

Thanks! That is awesome regarding the sweet potato harvest.

I am new to fermenting sweet potatoes but I think if you could successfully incorporate some into a Dosa Batter somehow that could be super tasty and nutritious (my recipe https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/wild-rice-amarnath-seed-dosa-batter )

Perhaps they would make a fun addition to my Golden Dragon Chi recipe as well (they would certainly be color appropriate! :) ) my recipe https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/golden-dragon-chi

I also like to add diced sweet potatoes to my taco mixes (which I freeze after in bags for easy meal nights in winter) Here is my recipe: https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/goji-berry-nettle-and-schisandra

They also make a lovely addition to my mom's Tortilla Lime Soup Recipe

I`ll think about other fermenting options for sweet potatoes in more depth when I have more time and get back to you.

Happy fermenting and sweet potato feasting my friend! :)
