fruity – ideal with grilled food

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1 cm cubes. Boil in salted water or broth for about 10 minutes until tender. Trim the bell peppers and peel the onions, and dice both. Make a fruity, fresh dressing from the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and oil with salt and pepper, as well as the turmeric and curry powder. (Tip: Olive oil flavored with lemon is also ideal, and a ready-made Asian or Chinese spice mix works well instead of turmeric and curry powder.) Season to taste with a little sambal oelek. Add the cooked sweet potatoes. Peel and finely grate the ginger. Bring to a boil briefly in the vegetable broth and pour over the sweet potatoes. Let it simmer for about 1 hour. Finally, garnish with chopped parsley or fresh coriander, if desired. Goes very well with roasted or grilled meat.
