I like them barely cooked . steamed/boiled with a dab of honey & finely chopped fresh ginger added at the end.

SWEET AND SOUR YAMS 500g yams salt 2 tbsp each of butter and honey 1 tsp ginger 1 tbsp vinegar
Boil the yams in salted water until tender. Drain. Melt the butter in a fry pan and saute the yams. Add the honey and ginger, and cook for 2 minutes more, then add the vinegar and cook for a further 2 minutes. Serve with meat or fish. Serves 6.

I never used to like them as a child, yet now, I love them lightly steamed with a little seasoning and butter with a little grated lemon zest or roasted.

I slice them fairly thinly, dot with butter, a good grind of black pepper and microwave them in a covered dish.

[quote=korbo are they a south island grown food?[/quote] probably, I have a good little crop, little yams but one of the winter staples.

I grow them in Whanganui - they like sandy soil. I use them in roast vege salads, love them in my frittata along with any other in season veg from the garden and also use them in gratin type dishes using a mix of potato and yam. Yum!

We love yams here and grow a good crop, use any way you can imagine, nice in vege soup, roasted, add to casserole or stews, stir fry, they keep well in the fridge and also freeze well.

annies3, how do you prepare them for freezing? Wash, bung them in the freezer, or is there more to it than that? I have a little plot which is difficult to find since the first hard frost & the foliage completely disappeared, hence I scrabble around getting a few for dinner . wonderful vege, huh?
