This is an excellent dish. Instead of grating the sweet potatoes I thinly sliced them because I don't like things so mashed. I used So Delicious plain coconut milk (dairy and dairy substitute aisle) instead of the dessicated coconut. I am making it again tonight and will add extra jalapeno. People seem to be saying that theirs turned out very sweet, and I assume that it's because they are using sweetened coconut. Mine was not so sweet (which I was happy about). Will be making this every Shabbat instead of kugel. -
This was great. Weird to us, but enjoyed all the same. I used a can of sweet potatoes instead of fresh. I chopped the chunks up into smaller pieces. But not too small as I didn't want it to become mush. It was nice to have the little pieces of sweet potato here and there. I will make this again for sure! -
I made half of the recipe. I didn't have any jalapeno peppers so unfortunately had to leave that out. I made mine lower fat by using Egg Beaters instead of whole eggs; reduced fat sour cream; and my coconut was also reduced fat. This brought the fat down to 8 grams per serving as a side dish. I calculated my 1/2 recipe as 4 servings. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow! -
This makes a lovely side dish. It was a wonderful addition to the chicken I cooked. I enjoyed the many different textures and flavours in this dish. It is very flavourful and filling. Thank you for sharing. -
Excellent! Liked the jalapeno/coconut/sweet potato combination. Served as a vegetarian main dish meal. I tried out my new mandolin on this recipe, slicing a medium/large sweet potatoe (about 19 ounces) on a 3 mm setting. Maybe because I was trying out my mandolin for the first time, prep time took me more like 1 hour. Instead of sour cream I used low fat yogurt and used sweetened desiccated coconut because that's what I had on hand, otherwise no changes on the ingredients. I baked at 350 for 1 hour, and it was perfectly set! BF liked this too, thanks very much and good luck!

Worcester Park, Surrey
I live with my husband and 2 cats in Worcester Park; a quiet typical 1930s suburb (which no one has ever heard of!) about 12 miles South West of London.
I'm a fair weather gardener and as my husband is a vegetarian I grow a few easy vegetables, such as tomatoes and peppers, mainly in containers. My husband loves growing flowers, the brighter the better, and we have a pretty garden as a result. Our cats, Araminta and Purrl, like it too!
I do a lot of cooking and try to keep our diet as healthy and varied as possible. Although I work full time, I use very little in the way of pre-prepared foods. This is partly because of the limited choice of vegetarian meals, which I think are overpriced anyway; but mainly because I like to know what goes in my food!
I love using the Internet for all the great ideas it gives me. Last year I participated in the Zaar World Tour (under my previous public name Caroline Blakey), which was great. Mr B and I tried lots of new foods and discovered new favourite meals. Researching recipes for the Tour was really interesting, however as I didn't have time to try them all, some were posted untested. I'm still working my way very slowly through them. To make matters worse I keep seeing other recipes I want to save and have also participated in Zaar world Tour II. So many recipes, so little time to make them!

My 'rules' for posting recipes are a) if I wouldn't make a particular recipe, I won't post it and b) if my husband wouldn't eat it, I won't post it. This means that all my recipes are vegetarian friendly.
As you will see from the number of recipes saved in my cookbooks, I particularly enjoy making jams and chutneys; I'd say it was one of my favourite hobbies. We always have a good supply of home preserves; my friends and work colleagues are well supplied too.
If we won the lottery (say £5m, as a good number) we'd like to give up work, move to the country and buy a place with a bit of land. In my dreams this would be a manor house or old vicarage, with a walled garden, an orchard where I could keep hens, a vegetable garden, etc, etc, etc! In my more realistic moments (the £1m win perhaps) I would like to run a B&B, perhaps offering Vegetarian taster weekends. Luckily it costs nothing to dream.......I’d also love more time to read, do embroidery, learn a language, see more of the countryside; and of course play on Zaar.
