Vegan day 325: Sweet Potato-Pear baked with Pecans and Raisins

SWEET POTATO-PEAR TZIMMES 
WITH PECANS AND RAISINS

This dish was such a hit with my family and friends that I promise right now- I WILL MAKE IT AGAIN for the holiday staff party lol.

Simply amazing.. 
Another recipe from VEGANOMICON by Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero

Ingredients
Yams or sweet potatoes – 2 or 3 large yams or more if using sweet potatoes
I happen to use yams for this recipe. I believe sweet potatoes will be even sweeter if you like that. 
Pears – I used 2-3 per tray that I made
Vegetable oil – I used 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil (olive oil is great too)
Mirin –  2 tablespoons. If you haven’t heard of this… it’s time to go buy some!
Pure and organic maple syrup 1-2 tablespoons
Cinnamon 
Pecans 3/4 cup
Raisins 3/4 cup golden

I may have altered this recipe slightly due to my impatience to read all the way through. I cut the yams/ sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes. I cut the pear into similar shaped pieces. Tossed everything into a party size baking tray. I poured the oil, mirin, maple syrup and cinnamon right on top. I didn’t really mix anything as I knew it would all melt around. I baked this for 30 minutes at 350. Then I mixed it gently to move the juice or sauce around. I added the pecans and raisins and baked another 30 minutes. 

Delicious!
