I've been trying to use up items in my pantry. For some reason, despite this year's harvest of 100+ sweet potatoes, I had 2 cans of puree in the pantry. I found this recipe online and modified it to what I had on hand. We were pleasantly surprised with the warm earthy flavors. I served it with some crusty homemade bread.
