Have you tried baked yam with ghee? To enhance the flavor, I like to include some crème fraiche seasoned with pepper salt and fresh cilantro. For a complete meal, serve your fluffy baked yam with a tin of salmon, mackerel, or sardines, and some sliced tomatoes seasoned with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Baked Yam with Mackerel And Okra
Dr. Cowan’s Garden Balsamic Vinegar
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
On the stovetop, steam or boil yam for approximately 25 minutes or until tender. If you can pierce it easily with a fork it’s cooked.
Bake yam in pre-heated for an additional 20 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the okra. Trim the tops and bottoms and slice lengthwise.
Toss the sliced okra in a bowl with melted ghee or olive oil, pepper salt, and all-purpose seasoning.
Spread the okra evenly in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake for at least 15 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Slice baked yam and add ghee, crème fraiche, and chopped cilantro to taste.
Serve with sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and mackerel fillets.
