Ingredients
- 1 garlic head
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted
- 2 pounds sweet potato peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut cream not coconut milk, canned
- 2-3 teaspoons curry powder to taste*
- 1/2-1 teaspoon salt to taste, sea salt
- 1/4 cup cilantro diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Slice 1/4 inch of the top of the head of garlic, peeling off the excess papery skin, and trying to keep the head intact.
- Place the garlic onto a piece of tinfoil and drizzle with the oil, rubbing into into the top and sides of the garlic. Close the tinfoil to make a packet around the garlic (remember to put the shiny-side in!) and roast until the center of the garlic is very soft, about 40 minutes.
- While the garlic roasted, place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with 1 inch of water, adding a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil on medium/high heat and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, up to the cilantro. Squeeze the cloves of garlic out of the head and finely dice them. Add in 4 of the diced cloves and then mash everything with a potato masher. Taste and adjust salt, curry powder and garlic - adding more diced cloves if you want more garlic flavor.
- Stir in the cilantro and DEVOUR!

Notes
- Begin with 2 teaspoons of curry powder and increase to taste, as stronger curry flavors may be too intense for some palates.
- Roast the whole garlic head wrapped in foil with coconut oil to achieve soft, caramelized cloves that can be easily squeezed out.
