Boiled Yam: a homemade version with weighed ingredients and detailed preparation.

Boiled Yam

Ingredients

  • 800 g identified edible yam, peeled
  • 2000 ml water
  • 3 g salt
  • 20 g olive oil

Preparation

Purchase an edible yam variety from a food supplier. Cut the peeled flesh into regular 4 cm cubes. Do not substitute yam with an unidentified root.

Place the pieces in salted water, bring to a boil, then cook for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, until fully cooked. The flesh should be easily pierced by a knife tip.

Drain and discard the water. Pour the measured oil over the still-hot yam and mix gently.

Serve without adding any accompaniment to the basic calculation.
