Yam is one of the staples of Burkina Faso and this is a classic method of preparing it.
Ingredients:
1 yam tuber
flour for dusting
milk for mashing
pinch of salt
50g butter, diced
chopped parsley, to garnish
Method:
Peel the yam then wash with salted water and pat dry with paper towels. Dust the outside of the yam with plain flour then sit on a baking tray and transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the yam flesh is tender and the tuber is nicely coloured on the outside.
Remove from the oven and cut in half lengthways. Use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh from the inside. Transfer this to a bowl and add a little milk. Mash until smooth then season with a pinch of salt.
Add the butter and mash once more. Arrange in an oven-proof serving dish. Place in a hot oven for about 10 minutes to just colour the top of the yam.
Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and serve. Typically this is served as an accompaniment for barbecued (grilled) meat or fish.
