Here we go. This was a recipe I caught on the end of a Tyler Florence show as I was flipping through channels.
You'll need:
5 yams/sweet potatoes (the orange ones. God help you
if you buy the "white" ones.
God help us all.)
4 bananas
2 sticks unsalted butter (about 1 cup. don't mix them.
Don't do it)
1/4 cup honey (don't measure this either.)
Salt (Kosher is good, Sea is good.
Table salt is ok. Potassium
chloride is not salt.)
Topping:
1/2 cup flour (all purpose)
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped/crushed/maimed/bullied
Preheat the hot box to 400 degrees, make sure you sacrifice someone you don't like to keep the fire god happy. Oh, Here's where Tyler and I differ a bit in our recipes. I used cadillac (Jumbo) yams for this dish, mainly because I was a tool and waited until Thanksgiving to actually buy my yams. If we followed Sir Florence of Puddings recipe here, we'd be roasting yams until the sun died. Luckily, we have this wonder of science called a microwave. The yams I used were so large that 4 of them weighed out to about 6.5 lbs. ow. I only used three of them though. So, what you do, is you get three plastic shopping bags from whereever you bought said yams. And then, you put a yam in each bag, tying it tightly on the top (air seal counts here, if it has holes, throw the bag away and use a different one).
