Sweet Potato - Peas Mash

I visited my granny the other day and this is she cooked for me.

Ingredients

• 6 – 8 large sweet potatoes
• 2 cups pigeon peas (green)
• 1 cup of green maize
• Salt to taste
• Any green vegetables for mashing

 Method

• Wash and boil maize and pigeon peas together till tender
• Wash and chop the green vegetables
• Add the vegetables to the peas/maize in the pot
• Cover and continue cooking till the vegetables are well cooked add salt
• Add sweet potatoes to the mixture and continue cooking till ready, making sure that there is no excess water  
• Mash the mixture and serve hot

Can serve 4 – 5 people

Serve with a sauce, meat stew, mutton, chicken or eat plain

You are lucky that you can choose to serve it with whatever you want, I ate mine plain. It was sweet but you can make yours sweeter

Tip
You can always fry the food after boiling peas and maize together. Then boling sweet potatoes seperately.... it adds taste to the food.

Let me know if you have other ideas of cooking sweet potatoes or peas
