Yam Peanut Spread

Stick a fork in a small red garnet yam, nuke for 5 minutes. Peel. This should yield about a half cup of cooked yam. Moosh up with the blade part of a hand salsa maker.

Switch to the blending part of the salsa maker. Put in yam, half a Mori Nu cube of silken soft tofu and about an equal amount of fresh-ground peanut butter [Fred Meyer health section.] Blend in salsa maker with about a square inch of ginger root, grated finely, ground cumin and ground coriander to taste.

This can be used as a spread on wraps with sliced vegetables such as onion, orange pepper, English cucumber, raw spinach leaves or grated cabbage; sprinkle on raw sunflower seeds. Roll up [this is the part I haven't mastered yet!]
