Ube Puree
Ube is a purple yam from the Philippines that has a slight nutty taste with a hint of vanilla flavor. Most often used in sweet preparations, it makes for a fun variation on a cauliflower mash. The actual yam is too high in starch but a cauliflower puree scented with ube extract makes a good swap. I like to serve this with an asian-influenced protein main such as Five Spice Chicken Chili Garlic Chicken Glazed Sesame Pork Tenderloin, or Reverse Sear Steaks with Gochujang Butter.
