This is an amazing little recipe from "The Tofu Book: New American Cuisine" by John Paino and Lisa Messinger. I vary it slightly by using vegan margarine instead of oil and topping it with nuts and vegan marshmallows. A fabulous treat that's good for you : ) !

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb soft tofu
4 medium sweet potatoes or yams
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons vegan margarine (I use Soy Garden)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger (try to use fresh!)
chopped pecans
vegan marshmallow

Directions

1
Scrub sweet potatoes/yams and cook until tender. (I microwave mine on high for about 10 minutes, or until a fork goes in easily.) Let sit until cool enough to handle. Peel and cut into small chunks.
2
Place cooked sweet potatoes/yams into a blender or food processor, along with all other ingredients. Process until smooth.
3
Pour into a casserole dish and top with pecans/marshmallows, if desired.
4
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes until heated through.

Will admit that I changed a few things around ~ I didn't peel or mash the potatoes but rather diced them small before steaming! I also left off the marshmallow topping & instead combined 1/2 a cup of pecans with some homemade, chunky cranberry sauce & used that on top ~ I wasn't going vegan so much as vegetarian! Very, very nice tasting side dish, this! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick A Chef]

I topped this with shredded coconut which toasted up nicely in the oven. I had it in my head that because there was tofu, it would be a good main dish. Nah, it's a side dish, much like sweet potato pie. Only with a blast of protein! Made for My 3 Chefs 6/08.
