Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & sliced thin
1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced thin
3 medium cloves garlic, sliced
1 Tbs. + 1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1 bunch mustard greens, stems removed, chopped
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 15 oz. garbanzo beans, drained
3 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
salt & white pepper to taste

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Bring water to a boil in a steamer with a tight fitting lid. Peel and slice sweet potatoes in fairly thin slices so they will steam quickly (about 5-10 minutes).
  2. While steaming potatoes, slice onion and garlic. Heat 1 TBS broth in 12 inch skillet. healthy sauté onion in broth over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes stirring frequently, until translucent. Add 1/4 cup broth, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, and mustard greens. Stir occasionally until mustard greens are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  3. Mash sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper. If you need to thin potatoes more you can add a little broth. Serve mustard greens with mashed sweet potatoes.
  4. Cooking Tip: When sweet potatoes are steamed, they pick up some moisture from the water. You should only need a little olive oil when mashing them. Mash well with the oil before adding any more liquid, otherwise they may be soggy.
