Instructions

  • Drain sweet potato; put in bowl of food processor.
  • Prep the onion; set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion, lower the heat and let cook slowly for about 20 minutes or until the onion is very soft and translucent. Add minced garlic in final 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Add the onion mixture to the food processor, along with the yoghurt, the lemon juice and chili powder process until smooth.
  • Adjust taste with salt sub and pepper.
  • Chill until you are ready to serve it. Will keep in fridge in covered container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Optional: put a few drops of hot sauce in it, or, sprinkle a few drops of hot sauce on it when serving.
Serve with crackers, naan, and / or cut up fresh vegetables such as celery, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms etc.
You can use regular no-fat yoghurt, but it might taste "thin" without the mouthfeel that Greek yoghurt can give. You could also try a low-fat ricotta, or cottage cheese.
