Re: (...)
HELP!!
I am trying to find a recipe from an old Cuisine probably from 2006 using squash or sweet potatoes as the main ingredient. They are peeled and cubed, sauted and then spices such as garlic, ginger, I think curry powder are then added and continued to be sauted. It's a wonderful side dish and was used as a side dish in the magazine.
Please, if anyone can find it in an old addition would you please email or post it. I want to use it for Thanksgiving cause my sister in law is vegetarian.

Is it Curried Sweet Potato Soup?
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup carrot, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1 T. fresh ginger, minced
1 bay leaf
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 T. vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sweet potato, peeled, cubed
1 t. curry powder
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup canned, diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup brown lentils
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt to taste
plain yogurt or sour cream
SAUTE onion, carrot, celery, ginger, bay leaf, and pepper flakes in oil in a pot over medium-high heat until soft, 8-10 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and curry powder; suate 1 minute
DEGLAZE WITH wine; simmer until almost evaporated, then stir in broth, tomatoes, and lentils. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until lentils and sweet potatoes are tender, 25-20 minutes.
OFF HEAT, stir in 2 T. cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. Garnish each serving of soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream and some of the remaining cilantro.
HTH.

Doesn't sound familiar - wish we could help more, but without more to go on. I searched "squash" and "curry" and got nothing.

Hi,
Thanks for the try. It's not a soup. The sweet potato is sauted then spices are added and everything is mixed together. I am just not sure exactly what spices and quantity.

Hi, Pam -- Looking at the index for recipes with squash or sweet potatoes... or something related.
Butternut Squash Gratin - issue 5:17
Grilled Summer Squash - 52:10
Ratatouille - 50:41
Scalloped 66:11
Yams - 59:43
Do any of these look familiar. I have the magazines, but not the access to the electronic archives.
Hope this helps!

I can't remember when
c@h quit posting recipes in the archives, but looking thru them for sweet potatoes, nothing is similar to what you mentioned. And no better luck looking for squash.

Was it chunky like a potatoe salad would be? Do you recall if it was served hot or cold?
I found one called Gingered Sweet Potatoes but they are like mashed potato consistency.
