BUTTERY MASHED YAMS

Buttery Mashed Yams image

Also spelled foofoo or foufou, fufu in its many variations is a staple in western and central Africa. Traditionally, it would be made by pounding - pounding, not mashing - the boiled tubers or plantains. This version offers a modern shortcut using the food processor. Use whatever proportions of starch suit your taste. Half yam (not sweet potato) and half green plantain might be a good starting point. Serve with soup, stew, or cooked vegetables.

Place the yams on the prepared baking sheet – do not pierce their skins! – and bake them for 30-45 minutes, or until they can easily be pierced with a knife. (They can vary in size quite a bit and the larger ones will take longer to cook.) Remove them from the oven and, when they are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scrape out the flesh. Discard the skins.
While the yams are roasting, make the brown butter. Put the butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. The butter will first melt, then become very frothy and finally it will start to brown. Once the froth begins to die down a little keep a close eye on it and start to stir the butter so you can see exactly what is going on. You want lots of dark brown bits in the butter. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once the butter is very brown remove it from the heat and pour it into a small bowl to stop the cooking. Stir in the sesame oil.
Mash the yams with a fork and add all but one teaspoon of the brown butter/sesame oil. Add the rice vinegar to the yams and stir till everything is well combined. Season to taste with sea salt.
