Yams With Ginger And Scallions Recipes

Steps:

• For the yams: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the yams with the oil in a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 2. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves, 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to the yams and toss to coat. Spread the yams and all the sauce evenly into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until beginning to become tender, 30 minutes.
• For the crunch: Meanwhile, pulse the gingersnaps in a food processor until they are fine crumbs with a few larger pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, butter and flour to combine. Form crumbles in several sizes using your hands and chill in the refrigerator. Remove the foil from the yams and stir to coat with the sauce. Continue baking uncovered until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with gingersnap crumbles and bake until the yams are very tender and the topping is nicely browned, about 10 minutes longer. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate. Coat the strips of yam with olive oil cooking spray and season with salt.
• Arrange the yam strips on the grate crosswise so they don't fall through. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes per side, until tender and glazed. Serve with butter.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix the sweet potatoes, butter and lemon juice. Break the gingersnap cookies into the mixture. Stirring occasionally, cook until thick, about 15 minutes.
• Cover the mixture with desired quantity of marshmallows. Remove from heat and cover 5 minutes, or until marshmallows have melted. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Add the garlic and ginger and sauté, stirring occasionally until the garlic is brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the cream and reduce by one-third over low heat, about 10 minutes.
• Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, combine the yams in a large saucepan with enough water to cover them completely.
• Bring to the boil over high heat and cook until the yams can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain and transfer to a food processor.
• Add the cream and process until well blended. Add the remaining butter, season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth.
• Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, correct the seasonings, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients. Transfer to a large 9x13 pan.
