Baked Yams (p. 152)

Last Saturday, I had the rare experience of hosting an all non-vegetarian dinner party. I took advantage of the situation to roast my first ever chicken, accompanied by two Rebar sides. The first was baked yams with honey, lime, and butter (see the next post for the salad). This dish was super-easy, but it took a bit longer than the estimated time in the book to bake the yams. I used the hand blender to get them nice and smooth, which worked well. They made a nice veggie/starchy side and fit in with the winter comfort food vibe of the chicken. My one criticism was that they were a bit too rich - I think I would use less honey (or maybe more lime and pepper) next time. Two stars and one bar.
