Sweet Potato Salad (Slatit Batata Helwa) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons harissa or 2 teaspoons chili peppers
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons honey
salt
4 tablespoons coriander
100 -200 g black olives, to taste
1/4 cup capers (to taste)

Preparation

Boil the sweet potatoes in just enough water to cover.
Stir in the ginger, cinnamon, harissa, lemon, honey and salt and boil for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked but not falling apart.
The sauce should be thick, almost syrup-like.
If it isn't, lift out the potatoes and boil the sauce until it is thicker.
When the sauce is done, mix in the coriander, olives and capers.
Cool and serve as an appetizer.
