4 servings
- 2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–22 minutes.
- 2
Drain the sweet potatoes through a colander, then return them to the warm pot. Let them sit uncovered for 1–2 minutes so any residual steam escapes and the surface dries slightly.
