Corvina A La Chorillana Peruvian Fish In Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• To make the candied sweet potatoes, put the sweet potatoes, syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft but still hold their shape, about 15 minutes.
