Recipe for "saute-sweepto"

NAME

     SAUTE-SWEEPTO - Sweet potatoes sauteed in lime and tequila

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

     2         large sweet potatoes
     100 g     butter (1 stick)
     150 ml    tequila
     60 ml     lime juice
     50 ml     sugar

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Grate the sweet potatoes into pieces  about  3  cm
               long and 5 mm thick.
          (2)  Saute the sweet  potatoes  in  the  butter  for  5
               minutes.
          (3)  Add the tequila, lime juice, and sugar,  and  cook
               covered, over moderate heat, for 5 minutes.

NOTES

     Rosie's lime juice, a common brand, has a substantial amount
     of added sugar. Try to find lime juice wtithout added sugar,
     or leave all the sugar out of the recipe if you  can't  find
     it.  Naturally  you will get the best results if you squeeze
     fresh limes to get the lime juice.

RATING

     Difficulty: trivial.  Time: 10 to 15  minutes,  most  of  it
     spent grating the potatoes.  Precision: No need to measure.
