Sweet Potato Poblano Pepper Casserole

I wanted to try something a bit different this Thanksgiving using Sweet Potatoes. This dish turned out most excellent and was easy to make. Definitely something that anymonkeycan do!

2 T of Olive Oil
3-4 medium Sweet Potatoes (peeled and 1/4" dice)
1 medium Poblano Pepper (cut into thin slices)

1 medium Red Onion (cut into thin slices)
1 t ground Cumin (to taste)
1 t Cinnamon (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

1. Heat Oil in large skillet over Medium-High heat.
2. Add the Onions and Peppers to the heated oil and sautee for about 5 min.
3. Reduce heat to Medium heat and add Sweet Potatoes and Salt (Cover).
4. Stir occasionally for about 40 min or until the Potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
5. Sprinkle Cumin, Cinnamon, and Salt to taste
6. Remove from heat and you can garnish with Cheese, fresh herbs etc.

**In the video I decided to roast the pepper and the onions.  After the pepper is roasted it will be charred black and blistered.  Place it in a bowl and cover with saran wrap for 20 min.  Then gentle scrape off the charred skin.  Cut the pepper & onion in thin slices and add to the sweet potatoes for the last 5-10 min.**

The cinnamon gives this dish an Indian flavor. Enjoy and as always..."Anymonkeycan" cook!
