Yams with Bourbon and Pecans
Don't make boring yams. Make yams with bourbon.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup pecans coarsely chopped
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1½ lbs yams peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
- ½ cup bourbon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
Toasted Pecans
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Place nuts in a single layer in a shallow tin and roast, stirring often, about 10 minutes or so; watch carefully.
- Stir the nuts several times because the ones on the outside of the pan tend to brown more quickly.
Yams
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat and sauté the yams, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in bourbon, sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper, cover the skillet, lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes more.
- Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium and cook until the liquid is almost all gone, stirring often.
- Serve at once topped with pecans.
