Instructions
- Grilled Sweet Potatoes Serves 4 Cut potatoes in wedges or ½-inch slices. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes just until crisp-tender. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 10 minutes or until tender, turning once. Sprinkle grilled potatoes generously with the herbal gomasio and serve. Herbal Gomasio Makes about 1 cup Without any oil or fat, dry-toast the sesame and hemp seeds by gently warming in a pan over medium heat, tossing or stirring constantly to avoid burning, until the seeds start to turn golden. Remove from heat and place in a bowl to cool. Grind the milk thistle seeds in a spice grinder or crush with a mortar and pestle. Toss pink salt, thyme, lavender and fennel into a food processor. Add cooled toasted seeds and pulse briefly about 10 times. Transfer mixture to an airtight container and store up to 2 months.
