O Que Você Precisa Saber

Chef Tips

- Peel the yams under running water or using gloves to avoid itching caused by oxalate crystals. - Let the yam drain very well in the colander before returning to the pan so as not to leave the puree watery. - Add the warm milk gradually while kneading until you find the ideal point of softness for your palate.

Variations

- Add 2 cloves of garlic cooked together with the yam and mashed to compose an aromatic garlic puree. - Sprinkle fresh nutmeg and freshly grated parmesan cheese for a classic gourmet profile. - Mix finely chopped fresh green seasoning at the end of preparation to bring green dots and freshness to the table.

Substitutions

- Cow's milk can be replaced by homemade coconut milk or oat milk for a lactose-free preparation. - Regular butter can be replaced by extra virgin olive oil or clarified butter (ghee). - Yam can be combined in equal parts with arracacha to provide golden coloring and aroma.

How to Store

Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, bring to a low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon and adding 2 tablespoons of milk or hot water to restore the original soft texture.

Can You Freeze It?

It can be frozen in individual portions for up to 60 days in the freezer. To consume, thaw in the refrigerator and heat in the pot, stirring with a whisk to reincorporate moisture and maintain uniform creaminess.

What to Serve With

Serves as an excellent base for beef stew with sauce, grilled fish fillet, pot roast, or sautéed vegetables. Pairs perfectly with glasses of young red wine or natural citrus fruit juices.

To reduce the natural viscosity, mash the yam in a manual press instead of blending in a blender.
