Tangy Sweet Potato and California Raisin Salad

Ingredients

Golden Raisin Vinaigrette

1/2 cup California golden raisins
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper

Salad

3 pounds small orange or yam-type sweet potatoes (about 2 inches in diameter)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup California golden raisins
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
Fresh arugula leaves

For vinaigrette, measure raisins and water into a small saucepan and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated. Let cool, then purée in a blender or small food processor. Whisk in remaining dressing ingredients; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To prepare salad, peel and cut sweet potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch slices; toss with olive oil in a medium bowl.

Grill over low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until tender and lightly charred. Remove from grill and return to bowl; let cool. Add raisins and chives to bowl and pour dressing over all; stir lightly with a rubber spatula until evenly coated with dressing.

Let chill for at least 1 hour before serving on arugula leaves.

Small Red Bean and Sweet Potato Curry Soup

Ingredients

Small Red Bean and Sweet Potato Curry Soup

2 lbs small red beans, dried
12 cups water, boiling
1 tablespoon cumin, ground
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or hot pepper sauce to taste)
2 cups onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
1 cup bell pepper, frozen or fresh, chopped
3-4 sweet potatoes, chopped
1 cup raisins
1/2 - 3/4 cup walnut pieces
Parsley, few sprigs for garnish (optional)

Make this recipe in a 6-1/2 quart slow cooker. If you are using a smaller cooker, cut the recipe in half.

The night before you wish to serve this soup, turn on the slow cooker to "high" and boil 12 cups of water in your microwave oven or on the stovetop, and pour into the pot of the slow cooker and cover. Check beans and discard any extraneous matter (small stones, etc.) found. Rinse beans under running water. (Use a sieve to rinse one cup of beans at a time.) Add rinsed beans to the covered slow cooker. Check water level and stir beans before retiring for the night. Turn slow cooker setting to "low."

In the morning, turn setting on the slow cooker up to "high," and add seasonings to the cooked beans.

In a microwaveable dish with cover, add onion, garlic, and bell pepper, and heat them until tender. Add to the slow cooker. Peel, wash and cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4 to 3/8 inch cubes, heat until tender, and add to slow cooker.

Stir well and cook for a half hour or longer until the contents of the slow cooker begins to boil around the edges, and then reduce the heat to "low".

Add raisins and walnuts about 1/2 hour before serving, stir, and cook for a few more minutes.

This dish may be eaten as a stew, or as a soup, if more boiling water is added to desired consistency.

Parsley, as garnish, may be used on top of soup when served.
