Spicy sweet potato sauce

[Epona]

I'm a ketchup and sweet chili sauce freak, actually I just love sauces period. So I've been trying to find a substitute that satisfies me. I've tried the natural no sugar ketchup among other things, yuck. Anyway on to my little creation.

To get the sweetness out of them,

• bake the potatoes in a little bit of oil (you can actually see the sugar just ooozing out of them)
• puree sweet potatoes with some broth, a little bit of oil & some crush chilies (if cooked, if not chili flakes)
• additionally either ginger powder or fresh ginger as long as it doesn't over power, you can also add in some oil roasted garlic (that has its own sweetness too when prepared like that)
• you can cook a little further over the stove to meld the flavours better but I didn't bother

I didn't really measure anything, just went by taste. Anyway thought I'd share. Thanks to Brody I'm trying to think of alternative, natural ways to satisfy my taste buds.

Yes I have such a sweet tooth (& not just for desserts) that I just NEED to find alternative healthier ways. It's not really lo-carb friendly tho.

But it's carb up friendly hehe. This is really interesting thanks for posting it, I think I am going to have to try it too!
I'm a sauce and gravy freak too. I love my food drowning in sauce.
