Preparation

Step 1

In a large pan, fry the onions in the oil until soft.

Add the garlic, and when the aroma rises, add the tomatoes and ginger.

Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes,and put them in the pan with the cilantro.

Add about 1 1/2 cups water, or enough to half-cover the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper.

Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has almost evaporated, turning the potatoes over once.
