How to Make Spicy Braised Sweet Potatoes

• Heat the oil and add the onion with a pinch of salt. Saute for about five minutes until it turns translucent.
• Add the tomato paste and Cayenne. Cook, stirring, for about a minute or two until the tomato paste darkens.
• Add the sweet potato cubes and toss well to coat with the spices. Add the white wine, enough water to cover the potatoes about halfway (just over a cup) and bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat to a simmer, slap on a lid, and cook for about 40 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are really tender.
• Add more salt if needed. Serve hot
