My Mom has always said that in her past life she had to be from the Mediterranean, solely based on the fact that she loves their cuisine. Growing up I never realized that most 8 year olds did not eat tabboule, tahini sauce and use lemon juice in everything. Even Dr. Oz says that a Mediterranean diet is the healthiest diet out there.
So in her honor, and in my hunger, I made her version of sour cream. Approximately 1 cup plain yogurt, juice of one lemon, pinch of salt, and my added touch, fresh mint. All you have to do is mix it up and walla, a dead ringer for sour cream in an a lot healthier form.
Now because I often cook for one, my grocery shopping is limited. So since I started with sour cream, I had to find something else that would go with it. And why not sweet potatoes?
(I promise, promise its really good.)
Toast up some pita bread, and i have a meal, or a really big snack.
(Here's a tip, the first time I made this I used regular ol' Plain yogurt, none of that fat free stuff, and I have to say that that batch was a lot better.)
