2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
Sea salt
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 pound orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, such as garnet yams, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons Grade B maple syrup
12 kalamata olives, cut in half
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup almonds or shelled pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped

1
Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and saute until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cumin, and paprika and saute for 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, water, orange juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the liquid is reduced to almost a glaze, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, and olives and stir gently to combine. Taste; you may want to add a pinch of salt or squeeze of lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with the parsley and almonds. Serve at room temperature.
