Here is a great Holiday recipe from Howard (our CM Produce Mercandising Manager):
Organic Garnet Yams with Orange-Chipotle Butter
3 Organic garnet yams, cooked and peeled
1 stick butter (1/4 lb), softened at room temperature
2 navel oranges, peeled and cut into segments
1 or 2 canned chipotle peppers, chopped (recommended La Costena)
1 teaspoon orange zest
juice from one orange
3 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
Chopped pecans for topping
Cook yams, peel, cube and set aside.
Add softened butter, chipotle peppers and orange segments to a food processor; pulse several times until all ingredients are incorporated into the butter.
Place yams in a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet; add orange juice, orange zest, honey, vanilla and salt and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Add butter mixture to yams; mix to combine and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until butter has melted. Adjust salt if needed.
Stir and transfer from pan to serving dish; top with chopped pecans.
Great side dish for pork or ham.
