Squash Yam Truc
Selma Brown Morrow is a freelance recipe developer, writer, and consultant to restaurants, TV celebrity chefs, and numerous publications.
High-calorie mashed yams are a holiday staple. To reduce calories but maintain the richness, microwave a small butternut squash. Mash the flesh, then drain excess liquid from the squash in a sieve set over a bowl (more drainage, denser texture). Lighten, ‘cut’, or extend the mashed yams with any desired amount of the squash.
