  • Sesame

Ingredients

  • ½ small sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • ½ tsp smooth tahini (sesame paste), without added salt
  • Warm water to thin

Let’s make it

  1. Steam or boil the sweet potato until it is soft enough to crush easily with a fork, about 12–15 minutes.
  2. Mash thoroughly. Stir the tahini into a little warm water, then mix it evenly through the potato.
  3. Add more water until the mash is soft and moist, with no sticky lumps. Cool to a comfortable temperature before serving.

A little serving note: Tahini contains sesame. This is an idea for keeping already-tolerated sesame in meals, not a first-introduction or allergy-treatment plan.
